    Slant Six in BMW E30

    Might have been discussed before, but just ran across this 2012 story. Leave it to Southern Boys to come up with this combo for a light-hearted race series. A slant is much cheaper to source than a Beemer straight-six and was competitive. Push-button tranny, no less. LeMons Good/Bad Idea of...

    Slant Six Distributors - Info and Questions

    I got a new electronic distributor for my 64 Valiant 225 cheap ($35 ebay), in a Mopar box PN 3755468, though metal tag is 3755467. It was missing internal plates, but had vacuum advance (VA).
