Ram Clutches is looking into developing a pocketed flywheel and dual disc clutch for the 273/318 LA and slant six engines. They presently have a flywheel and bell housing for them and will be seeing if it is possible to adapt their production Force 9.5 flywheel to work with these 2 applications...

Just to verify the valves and ignition for each cylinder is ok, I would start it up and pull off the plug wires 1 by 1 and see if any dont change the roughness more. If so, that cylinder isn’t firing. Hopefully the cause is nothing real bad like a broken rings, piston, bent valve etc. As far as...

I hear you kestab. This has been an issue for a long time for us manual transmission slant folks. I believe this Force 9.5 clutch is the upgrade that makes the most sense for dealing with the inherent weakness of the clutch/flywheel of the OEM slant cars. Changing the clutch to anything bigger...

If you are interested in this clutch, I have the info on slantsix.org This is likely to happen pretty quickly so let us know if you are in on this buy soon.

Have you considered one of the throttle body EFI units available now? I just put one on my slant (Holley Sniper 4 bbl) and it made a huge difference. I had the Eddy 500 and a Holley 390 which were good but the closed loop control of the EFI just makes everything a lot easier, especially if you...

Especially when the z bar cracks

A 10” or less 23 spline disc is almost unheard of these days. The flywheel is also not the greatest as they develop cracks at the PP bolts with the 10” clutch. This is a safer option and opens up a bunch of possibilities for other transmissions.

I have toasted my 10” Police Taxi clutch in about 1000 miles so I know what is Presently available isn’t enough. The Force 9.5 is what Ram has offered to do and I am quite happy about it. Drivability is said to be very good. Going to the strip and dumping the clutch at 3500 or more shouldn’t...

I recently contacted Ram Clutches about them making a clutch for my slant and it was suggested I use a Force 9.5 and they would make a pocketed flywheel for the slant six. As of today, a stock, large center hole flywheel and bellhousing is on its way to SC to see if we can fit this thing in. A...

Exterior spear stripe color is the same as the interior color too!

Black with foil embossed Dart on backs. Bought new and never used. Front buckets only. No rear seat or covers available. I have the bucket seats for the 64 Dart also, though in rough but restorable shape. Will ship seat covers anywhere in CONUS, but not the seats. Local pickup in San Jose Ca...

Killer6, There is an extensive thread on the Comp Cam oil gear failure issue on slantsix.org. A post mortim of a few engines running comp cams that had oil pump gear failures were analyzed and the verdict was essentially material hardness incompatibility. It is an interesting read. I am not...

Yeah, it's all guess work here on the Internet.

If it made no noise prior to the tuneup, I also believe it is likely the ignition timing. Sure sounds like it. Not rhythmic enough for a typical rod knock, but possible. Have you tried to twisting the distributor to make the sound worse? Play with th point gap, if so equipped? Good luck.
