I am having a hard time getting information about the timing of the two pickups in the Lean Burn distributors osed by Mopar in the late '70s. One of those pickups was retarded with regard to the location of the other. I just need to know how much. There is probably something like 4, 5 or 6...

I am a rank newbie as regards turbocharging, but would like to "do it right," so, in that vein, I bought a pressure gauge to complement my boost pressure gauge. I plan on trying to run as much as 30 pounds of boost on this motor (it has forged pistons, rods, and crank, and the block is...

Things to avoid in this build: 1. Ported head 2. Intercooler 3. fuel injection 4. O-rings 5. 4bbls 6. Headers 7. Race gas Well, that is a lot of money saved if none of that stuff is necessary for a viable 300 hp, turbo slant six powerplant, but if you don't HAVE any of those...

My car WAS a partnership car, with Freddie Nielsen, when one day about 4 months ago, he makes me an offer I can't refuse, to have it ALL MINE, so I take him up on it. So generous was his offer, he basically GAVE me the car, after his having performed countless hours of A-1 quality work on it...

This will attempt to determine the actual cost of building a (nominal) 500 hp slant six with a blow-thru carbureted, turbocharged 225 engine that will feature forged (forged aluminum) pistons and aftermarket, forged 198 rods. It will be limited to 25 pounds of boost. Let the games begin...

This will attempt to determine the actual cost of building a (nominal) 300 hp slant six with a blow-thru carbureted, turbocharged 225 engine that will feature stock-type (cast aluminum) pistons and stock 225 rods It will be limited to 10 pounds of boost, without a chemical intercooler, and 12...

I want to do an accurate-as-can-be cost analysis as to how much capital is necessary to spend on creating a turbocharged slant six engine in two states of tune; a 300 horsepower, and a 500 horsepower version. They will both be carbureted, and both utilize as many stock, original components as...

Need ONE headlight trim ring (left, but I think they are the same, both sides.)Good condition. Good condition; need not be perfect... '63 IS PROBABLY THE SAME. PM me with price...THANKS!

I was just turning over some ideas in my so-called brain and was thinking about the new 2014 Mopar offerings, and wondering if there is an alternative to dropping $30,000.00 on a new car using a 1965 Valiant sedan and spending a lot less... How much would be up for discussion, to get a car...

Our slant six/turbo blew a head gasket last week, showing 50# compression on #1 cylinder and 60# on number 2/ Those numbers have always been 160/160 in the past. We are going to take the hint and install O-rings around the cylinders, but have heard varying opinions about which wire to use...

Can someone tell me how to know when an Oxygen sensor is going bad due to lead contamination from leaded fuel? I have an F.A.S.T. O2 sensor and it sticks on one number under any circumstances... It should be changing, but it won't. I bought another sensor for it, but would like to know what...

some home-brewed 1.6:1 rockers for our slant six... We learned that they were originally case-hardened (had the Rockwell hardness checked,) so it was deemed necessary to anneal them for machining and welding. Now that they have been T.I.G.-welded, We will have to get them hardened again before...

Sold...

We (Freddie and myself) have been working on this turbocharged slant six for way longer than we ever thought it would take us to finish the project, and today, that waiting finally paid off, to some extent, at least. After nearly four years of sweating the multitudinous details, waiting for...

FABO member PISHTA has made available all the information regarding his own design turbo adapter for slant six motors that need boost (they all do) and don't want to suffer the mechanical aches and pains of having to weld the turbo inlet flange to the cast iron manifold. His solution to that...

We cut the rubber fuel line just south of the metal stub tubing that goes into the fuel pump inlet on our 1964 Valiant slant 6 as we were removing the engine for machine work (rebuilding.) On inspection of that rubber line, we discovered that the useable area that fuel could flow through, (in...

Anybody know of a source for new rubber firewall grommets for a '64 Valiant? I am referring to the two (one on each side of the firewall,) near the area where the hood rests. They are plugged into the vertical surface of the firewall, are about 2 inches long (just a guess) and are rounded on...

These are some really poor photographs of my attempt to create some do-it-yourself 1.6:1 rocker ams for our /6. I apologize for the crummy photo quality. Hope these rockers work better than my camera... We used a .102" metal-cutting saw blade from Manhattan Supply (MAS) to make the cut...

I need 12 GOOD slant six adjustable rocker arms... nothing else, just the arms. Please send me a P-M if you have any for sale. Thanks much. Bill

I am trying to figure out how this works: I'm told that I can't BUY a short duration, high-lift cam for my slant 6, from anywhere. I am talking about a 210-degrees at .050" lift profile (112 degrees lobe separation) with .530" lift. The story I get is that to get that much LIFT, I have...

The (new at this time; 11/5/'11,) January 2012 issue of Car Craft has a nice article on Steve Nitti's unusually-well prepared /6 Duster, which has a Procharger centrifugal blower on it. The article begins on page 60. Lots of good pictures and text. Worth the price of the magazine. NEAT...
