Nope. I have never owned or driven a car like the Dart before.

Manual everything and so much torque, it will take some getting used to. Just means I need to drive it a lot.
I tend to go 500 miles trying to vary rpm. In town and country driving going thru the gears. Stay away from long highway constant rpm driving.
Hope you all have a good one!
Yup great way to break in the rings and bearings. Then do a oil change. I would limit the rpm if you can. The MSD you have take a chip? I would say 2500 is a good break in mark for a big block.
Thanks, I definitely need to feel things out.
Thanks not sure about the chip? 2500 miles you mean?
No RPM I know they made a 3000. for sure. Plugs into the msd and limits the RPM. Once broken it you can raise the limit great idea for a stick car.
Just a pic they have a bunch of ranges. 500 miles should be fine. What did Sean recommend?

We set limiter yesterday at 6k
Just wear that big hemi is starting to breathe...We set limiter yesterday at 6k
Eric you do this for a living what do you think?
Whoa way to high on a new engine.We set limiter yesterday at 6k
I agree that is where it is set, I will be taking it easy. I want to enjoy the engine and car for a long time.
The way I have always looked at it is there are alot of new sharp edges that have to blend in IE rings etc. I just have always taken it easy at first. After break in that think will scream, prob 6500 to be safe.
How did you set it?
There is a cap you pop off, pretty easy to change I think. I will take a look at the book it came with.
I had one and sold it at Carlisle.
On the MSD?
Yes Sir.
Morning!
A little frosty but warming up real good today. Should get last of cab rust repair done today.

Either a dial or a chip. Either way it is easy, What did Sean recommend for the break in?
