    Distributor question

    I have 1 at the moment, am getting a 2nd tomorrow. (Steel distributor gear) Long discontinued Napa part from a /6 racer buddy. Any reason "not" to run it? I have a NOS (not rebuilt!) Distributor in my engine right now. Has its original nylon gear on it. Only because it is NOS. And I've only...

    60s /6 to 727 adapter

    This last Friday I picked up a complete 225 and 727 supposedly pulled out of a 64 pickup. The whole reason I got this is for the adapter plate they used to use on /6-727 applications before they came out with the/6 specific 727 case, as I also have an A500 from a Dakota sitting here. That...

    "Truck only" parts on early ones?

    I brought home another/6 today. 225 supposedly pulled from 64 truck I don't know if it was a100 or D Series though there was a d series driver door not far from where the engine sat. (only remnant of older Dodge truck in the barn beside this engine and trans) It has the cartridge oil filter...

    BBD question.

    I have an NOS BBD that I bought a while back, a guy on the other /6 forum had about 10 of them. (He sold out of them) Carb number 6537 It's a 318 spec carb. I had bought 2 of them, wish now I'd have gotten 3. I put 1 on my son's truck when we super 6'd it. I have 1 for mine. And I have...

    distributor Q

One is NOS and is in the original existing engine in my truck. Only has like 100 miles on it. It was suggested to replace the vac advance pod, as (I have not...

    well that came out short

    I'm off work for Presidents day today. Messed around in the garage a bit, got my head CCd and mounted/torqued. (have to go get the wife from work and have somewhere to go/ or Id have done more) I have to run an Aussie HG because ant other HG I have tried the fire ring sticks out a bit past the...

    more confused than ever (degreeing a cam)

    Ive searched on here, looked at several You tubes etc. Wasnt sure whether to tie onto one of the old threads or start another. Thought starting another would be easier. Maybe less confusing. I havent done anything with my motor in a while (74 225 being built to go into 85 D150) 819 Oregon cam Im...

    thoughts on these parts I found?

    haven't made any progress on my /6 build in too long. Though winter is better for working on things/ so that I can have this thing ready for action earlier in the spring, winter mode in my garage seems to be worse every year, as far as packing it full of stuff I don't want exposed to "winter"//...

    Copper head gasket????

    Just throwing it out there for ***** and giggles. When I ported my head I just barely went to clean up the edges of the combustion chambers especially the jagged edge around the intake valves, and I set a HG on the head and it seems I should have left it alone, as now the chamber edge won't...

    air cleaner idea

    might be a dumb one.... but here goes. I just got a "Charger 225" air cleaner (top n bottom) from a guy on the other forum. I know it was made for a 1bbl. I also know that a BBD neck is a little bigger. Ideas wanted on either 1) making the base fit my BBD without it looking cobbled or 2)...

    dipstick and tube

    have a slight issue here. On my engine (have to use truck pan) I bought a 2nd truck pan so I could leave the old engine intact when I swap them. I "could" swap pans when I swap motors, I guess.... but Im sure I cant be the only one to ever run into this. On my 2nd pan, I discovered what looked...

    Head flow question

    I had a /6 head flowed a few days ago, thanks to another member here. It's been ported and has OS valves, and been shaved. Question is, has anyone here had just a plain, old, random, stock /6 head flowed? Can you post the results? I was told, when done, that mine is a good, street, hi perf...

    Another cam degree question

    I tried asking this in the other cam degee thread from a few days ago but it got glossed over within that one. Most of our /6s have solid lifters with adjustable lash. When degreeing a cam with solids do I have to temporarily adjust lash to 0, while degreeing the cam? Cuz otherwise to turn the...

    advance springs

    what advance springs work on a /6? I have a distributor that I want to go thru for my fresh engine. I forget the tag number. It's the common one they used on the Super 6 engines, late 70s. not sure what the advance curve, etc is now but Im sure it's as made by the Mopar factory back in the day...

    Take a look at these bearings

    Just started reassembly of my engine and when I opened up my main bearings and the 1st "oh, $#1t" moment right off the bat. Now I'm gonna try and post a couple of pix, something that had always given me fits, here goes/ These are brand new, tri metal but probably from the 80s or maybe earlier. I...

    my slant buildup

    hope you don't mind, this isn't destined for an A body/// and might well end up in my F body down the road, depending on how well it carries my D150.... hey, we all need parts haulers, right? I have been looking between here and /6.org at different people's builds, and it seems like alot are...

    fire ring diameters of various head gaskets

    I know that over the years people have gone wild with modifying these engines, with bore jobs of 0.060 and more being common. I am not planning a very "wild" build for mine, just a little more grunt and motivation for a truck. but I am experimenting with head porting and I "think" I might have...

    Exhaust sounds?

    For starters, we all know the distinctive slant 6 sound.there is no mistaking it. That having been said, among other things I need to redo the exhaust on my truck, as it is currently a home cobble job welded together from scrap elbows that came from the scrap dumpster at a local exhaust shop...

    torque converter question

    this is not an A body Q, as it pertains to a D150 w/a slant in it. and 3.21s in the back. and a 727. (yes I know how to tell the difference) the 727 stays. IDK yet, if mine is a L/U version or not, seen them both ways in the mid 80s. if mine winds up as being a L/U, then this thread will be...

    Which one and why?

    Building up a fresh 225, have all gaskets and seals except for the rear main. Rope? Rubber? If I were fishing one in within the car I'd say rubber hands down, easier to fish thru there. But on the stand, with a bare block to start, is rubber still better? I know that if one was gonna go back...
