man, you /6 guy's need to get some sort of welcome package together. shouldn't have taken 11 months for some one to point him to slantsix.org :steering: Dan would never have let this happen :lol:
In hindsight I think the way it worked out was good. It was nice figuring out what worked and what did not since I drive this car 50 miles aday so data is plentiful. The biggest help was putting one of these heads on the flow bench. This way I could see what this thing would pump and make a cam accordingly. Once that happened the tuning became super easy. I went to the .org place and looked around but, some of the things there just did not work for me at all on my engine. Maybe in different engines they worked but definitely not for me. For instance spark plugs, I told to try the NGK plug with the projected tip "Part number escapes me" but wow that was a popcorn machine with detonation. Now around town it was great but get that thing on the freeway and it was like marbles bouncing around. I checked for true TDC, re-curved the distributor, have a wide band that was running perfect, but the only way to get them to stop was back timing off to "0" and have no more than 20 degrees of timing, even with 91 fuel in it. Now remember this is only for my engine because for everyone else it worked but defiantly not in this slant six. So for me auto-lite 66 with a gap of 0.050" is the ticket. The point of all this is that I enjoyed getting a problem and then fixing it.
