I was actually just going off of the temp guage on the sniper. I do have a non contact thermometer but not sure where the most accurate place on the car to shoot it.

Ok some quick updates. I wasn't having much luck withe the piston stop tool, couldn't get it extended far enough it seemed, so I used a whistle instead. Whistle stops about 5 deg BTDC mark so it might be close enough? Hard to get it exact. Spark plug gapped to .045 Timing is set to about 11...

Thanks for the info. I'm going to stick with it because it's already on the car and functioning fine. I know adding more technology adds failure points but thats ok. I'm also running a super sniper EFI which I get told all the time I shouldn't have complicated things.

And I forgot I only answered one of your initial questions, yes I did realize this was another thread, no I do not know how to use a piston stop tool. I did buy one though, thinking I would have to look at this one day.

Thank you so much. I will try some adjustments tomorrow. Right now it is currently at TDC without vacuum or mechanical. Hopefully adjusting the timing a bit will help the overheating issue. Honestly it's hard for me to tell if the timing is off at all, the AFR looks ok, about 13 at idle. Sounds...

Yup I did know that lol Trying to find people who have hands on experience with MSD on a slant. Yeah I'm aware on how to find TDC, I'm trying to find out what others have set their initial timing to to have a jumping off point.

I just installed a MSD 6a and have actually been battling some overheating issues. I'm wondering if my timing might be off. When you switched to the MSD did you have to retard timing at all? Where are you sitting with timing at idle without vacuum? Thanks in advance!

I just read somewhere that with an MSD box I should be running .06 gap in plugs. This correct? Also same NGK plugs ZFR5Ns for my 225 slant I assume? (Washers removed of course)

I just pulled ACDelco R45XLS out while trying to hunt down an overheating issue. (That's a whole other animal)

I have a 68' 225 slant 6, with an MSD cd box with electric distributer. Should I also be running NGK ZFR5N? If so, what gap? Thanks!

Ok got it. I sent my instrument cluster off so that's why I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what I'm missing. I ran into a similar issue with the heat controls trying to figure out what that attaches to. Thanks!

Than maybe my issue is on the dash side?

Can somebody help me out with installing the wiper switch on my 68. I feel like I'm missing a fancy washer or clip the holds the switch itself in place.

Any photos you guys might have would be great. I'm looking to install one pretty soon and running dual exhaust makes choosing a spot twice as fun.

Hey there, also in the process of putting the holley super sniper EFI on my 225 slant in my 68 barracuda. Eventually supercharge with torqstorm. I noticed you've went with the MSD6al and was curious what distributer you went with?

I used to own a mitsubishi lancer evolution and had a similar experience on evolutionm.net Just gotta hope for the best and make do with what you got.

Thanks so much! I really can't wait to start diving in and having fun with the car. Making it shine and learning all I can.

That's a good point. If the weather is nice Saturday I'll be able to pull it out of the garage and get some real photos. Yeah the previous owner didn't even drive it enough to empty the tank. He said he was just putting 87 in it but only put in a few gallons. The fuel gauge is also not...

Correct.

Just for some closure on the thread I did end up buying it. Got it for $7500. Also came with the original bill of sale, which I laughed at because a dodge dart was traded in to help buy it. Tons of service history receipts various paperwork. Frame appears to be ok, looks to be mostly just the...

This is actually only like an hour and a half from me so I may go check this out. From what little I've been looking up, it seems like Hurst was in some V8 models but I can't find anything about a Hurst with a slant six. Then again, I'm just trusting what I'm seeing on the internet. Even if...

Hey this might be right up my alley. Good looking out. Clearly I need all the help I can get lol.

Oh wow. I had no idea. That's a beautiful looking ride. Lucky buyer.

Thanks! Man trying to get into the mopar world is tough. Well since this deal is all but shot, I'm open to suggestions. Where is a good spot for someone to get into the mopar scene. Really just the classic car scene in general. Just looking for an A body with a manual trans that is a decent...

Fair enough

I would agree. If someone put a V8 in a dart that was originally a slant 6, I'm ok with it, as long as they call it like it is. "Fake badges" always leaves a bad impression I think.

Run away because it's a slant 6 or because all the potential covered up issues?

I appreciate all the input. This is why I came to the experts. The real intriguing parts for me is that it had a front bench, manual transmission, and had va plates so it's at least somewhat local for me to check out.

Thanks! I'll look this over!
