our gk stocker cam is at .006 cold, makes it .004 hot, seems to work ok, no problems, had a comp stkr cam called for .006 lash on intakes, zero lash on exh, int was a solid lobe exh was hyd lobe. just food for thought
not all 8 3/4 cases are same. i measured the case and the cap differences, using factory gears , already shows how much shim to use, after market gears have to use pinion depth . with a t & d gear setter, it measures absolute pinion depth .for years i used flat plate and measured depth, with a...
mopar race manuals, says have to pump 1 gal.in 25 seconds or less. that is Minium volume. i use a areomitive fuel pump and reg.and 1/2 line. just food for thought
question , about exhaust manifold on 273 dart. does steering column have to be removed to get left manifold installed??or the starter? its been a long time since i worked on one of these, thanks
when you change ratios, you change everything, 1 st ,2nd , 3rd gears, cluster, input shaft, you don't change reverse gear. some gears show same tooth count, but are different dia, won't fit. you can't mix and match gears, all are specific to each ratio set.
the 64 to 66 six cylinder trans has the 3.09 gear set. , it drops in, don't need to change reverse gear either, i had a friend , changed to a 3.09, from a 2.47 gear set, in 1/4 mile it was two tenths quicker, the 340 will pull the split on 1 -2 shift easy. i ran the same in my 340 car, go for...
i read my post, it was 10.05 @ 131.7 mph, he dialed a 10.11 broke out, it was at brainard earlier this year. index is 11.00. he can run with the 283 chevs
it was at brainard at the div race as i remember, i didn't save it, just seen a vid taken at tristate he ran 10.5 @ 130.12 it's called wheels up slow motion, by jerry nesh
I attended a seminar put on by superflow,in 1999, harold betts was the speaker. bottom line he stated was, port shape and port velocity is everything, don't get hung up on flow numbers. port velocity fills cylinders' fast and creates more cylinder pressure, which makes more torque , also power...
i made a alignment shaft for my 18 spline, clutch. i measured od of shaft and made it out of aluminum shaft, it fits in splines very good,, no splines to mess with, way easier to use, btw way that plastic alignment tool is worthless, thats why i made my own no splines. the end was turned down...
on our stockers , we run zero lash with hyd lifters, also run anti pump up style, our engines will run to 7500 rpm, cam is 262 .265 duration at .050. lobes are very aggressive . just food for thought, btw , springs are 140 seat and 360 open
are you using stock clutch linkage and z bar? if so, mopar says to lengthen bottom pivot down one inch , the clutch will work way better, on mine i lowered it one inch, also, shortened upper bar one inch, this shortens clutch pedal travel, have to use a stop under pedal., clutch will disengage...
most foot brake racers have a button in brake pedal, to one side, for launch. when applying brakes at end of run its out of the way. just food for thought.
the ratio is wrong, mopar says to lower bottom pivot one inch,, also on mine , i shortened the upper arm, bout an inch, has lots of room now, plenty of travel also. i measured mine on my dart, c to c, upper is 4 1/4, lower is 5 inches .
all i wrote, i in regards of torque is from personal experience, i have always used moly lube on my head bolts and main bolts, by using moly lube , you will have more clamping pressure without distortion. i used on my 273 and my 340,.i know arp wants 100, lbs, you will pull block deck up...
