Hah! That right there is a fact! And yes I was.
lol I made e4 in less than 6 months after AIT. I just sat there for 17 years...
that’s been me. My first 5 years, there were zero E5 slots, and hadn’t been for years. So when the state reorganized and created new slots, seniority ruled, and those were quickly filled and the problem came back. Then after OCS and blowing the knee a third time, I spent 8.5 years in an aviation unit and not in an MOS slot, so I wasn’t eligible despite being number 1 on the list the entire time.
Then I’m the ****! I’ve been an e4 3X times haha. Promoted to E6 twice and bumped back down due to no fault of my own
And Swedes!
so what is the promotion to?
Hey @krazykuda, You made a post here (in 2015 ...) about factory cam specs for the 273. Pictures from the Manual. It has the cam data, which is perfect.
One question, though. For the 2 bbl cam, it says "duration 240 degrees". At which lift?

I have a little gun cleaning in my future. I get to be the caretaker of my stepdads long guns. A Iver Johnson single shot 410 and a Remington (I think) bolt action 22. THey both were his family guns grandma used to shoot critters off the back porch out on the farm. Nothing special just fun to have.

Ha, I been the same rank my entire Life E-0..........
Morning all. We are in US waters and making good speed for a change. Should be to the sea buoy in Port Fourchon, La sometime Wednesday morning. Ish..... you know how it goes, currents and winds etc.
Chrysler's cam numbers come from the ramp changes on the drawing.
That might be around .008 at the valve. So it seems based on the cam specs in the replacement catalogs from other companies. That comes from Wyrmrider. I experimented with using that in the Dynomation and it seemed to work. YMMV
I just measured the lift on the cam that was in my '67 2 bbl and I get 0.257-0.261 lobe lift which translates to 0.3855"-0.3915" or so with the factory 1.5 rockers.
Makes sense that it's worn down about 0.004" to 0.010".
That seems logical.
Finally!
Caught up!
Morning!
-22c. Not bad. Spring thaw is coming soon. July isnt that far away.
Over 8.5m raised for the truckers.that alone shows how big this really is.
today, shop needs organizing, have to bring in some metal mashing tools.
Getting back to work on that firebird.

Congratulations, E-5 was my favorite rank, liked it more than Chief cause I got to work on equipment w/o the BS!

Lets see if I got this correct. See the last line. We got .004 specs from another cam company. Those are the degrees at a known measurable lift.
