63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)

[halfafish]

Yes you can get it 180 out - don't ask me how I know.

A slant is non-interference so you can't do any damage but it will run like crap if it runs at all.

Did you degree the cam?

 

[Dne007]

Hm, no I didn’t degree the cam, how do I do that?

 

[Dne007]

Ok. I’ve been reading about it, guess I’ll look into that. Thanks;)

 

[Dne007]

While waiting for stuff, I bought this off of ebay, 200 pl/sh, needs a little TLC. I'll do something with it, krinkle color, that's what I did on my Miata engine which is in my Triumph TR6. Got time to think about it.

 

[GGs66GT]

Nice score !
I vote for Red wrinkle , then you can say it’s a Red Ram 6 .

 

[mpgmike]

That (as I recall) is Robin Red Wrinkle. Same as used on the '91 - '93 TIII R/T's.

 

[Dne007]

Wow, that is pretty, didn't know what Robin Red Wrinkle was;) Thank you for the picture;)

I finally finished degreeing my cam, was a learning curve, thanks to Halfsfish for guidance, tool ideas, and the Roll master to fix the problem.

Final reading from degreeing: 152 and 57= 209/2 right on the money as to what the cam card says. (intake 104.5 and exhaust 112)

Original degreeing from the original cam/crank was 101.5 too complicated for me to elaborate.

All I can say is that this is over with and I can start putting my engine together.

nothing here, just the dial setup

This is the original~ with piston at TDC, the crank was 8 degrees off.

66fs (Dan), got the shifter to me today! omg, it's gorgeous!! THANK YOU DAN!!

 

[Dne007]

While cleaning the garage, thought I'd play with the shifter~ it's like a puzzle, but I finally got it. I'm going to have to repaint the transmission, I made a mess out of it when re-assembling the tail shaft housing.

I had a talk with my machine work fella~ hot tank on Friday and estimate on Monday. So, this morning I sprayed the underneath a glossy gray, then bolted up the Maxjax lift, removed the rotisserie, and installed the K member(just to look at it;)) The doors just clear the maxjax, that's good! So, the dart will be here for quite a while, have to work on the rear valance(couldn't do it on the rotisserie), the front valance needs a lot of attention too. The gray primer makes the car look great, but in reality needs a lot of attention. The maxjax has been a blessing over the years. I have 2 1/2 Maxjax lifts and have 3 places I can put them. When not in use, unbolt and roll out of the way;)
I need a smoothie~ ;)

You're a woman on the move! What Oregon grind did you go with?

 

[Dne007]

There's more than one Oregon cams, or What did they do to my cam?

Your cam. Which grind number did you decide on?

 

[halfafish]

Your cam. Which grind number did you decide on?

@Dne007 , did you have them grind yours from the cam card I sent you?

 

[Dne007]

Yes, of course;)

[Dne007]

I've been wanting to test fit the slant on my engine run stand, I've lost count as to how many engines I've had on it, It's fun to run engines long before they're put in the car. After lunch I'll go put it back on my regular engine stand as I'm not done with it by any means. It's actually a remarkable looking engine;)

Some of you may remember a little while back, I had this 318, spent way too much time on it, but it now is in the '75 Duster that I traded the slant for.

 

[Dne007]

Thanks Zach;) I do hope you're making progress with your ankle

 

[RustyRatRod]

RRR, this is the grind she went with.
