Got thrown a pretty big curve ball shortly after i bought the car. Unfortunately it has to go. Im losing $. BTW the winning buyer just flaked out on me so if anyone is interested lmk. This sucks....believe me i wasnt planning to sell the car a month later and lose money in the process. Life just...
Ive always been a believer in using the track to judge not dyno #'s. did gain 11 hp and 7 ft lbs by quick simple tweaking on the dyno though (timing and jet change) a/f looks nice and flat. should run well. Was simply just curious as to what others thought were. I will be at the track at the...
Many of you know i just picked up a new, a car full wight 70 duster, and have been working the bugs out for the past few weeks. Well took the car to the local chassis dyno (dynojet) and it laid down 295 rwhp/ 296 rwtq. They claimed they had a demon in with virtually the same set up as me and it...
Well tuned the car, timing is now at 17 initial and 37 all in. Jake from Jake auto helped make things right and its a whole new car. The car made 295 rwhp /296 rwtq , looking forward to getting it to the track. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Wow i had no idea this would draw such a response so far im loving this site, always tons of feedback. I completely agree with the drive it or sell it mentality. I love old cars for the "character". And trust me i will put plenty of miles on the car.
well i could pay the tow bill if thats what you mean but who wants to sit for hours on the side of the freeway and then still have to ride back in a tow truck for 4 hours. I'm still feeling the car out so ill make a decision tomorrow.
I'm with you guys , only reason I asked was Ive only had the car a week so im trusting someone else's handy work. I think im just gonna drive it and whatever happens, happens. See you guys down there....hopefully.
New here, ill try to stop by since ill be in the swap looking for a 70 valiant fender badge and correct side view mirrors that don't cost an arm and a leg. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys.
Well im taking all of your advice (thanks btw) im going to leave everything alone and start with just tuning the car as much as possible and see where were at. the possible look at the lifters if necessary. I agree that it shouldnt be too bad when running well and that the parts are pretty well...
Thanks everyone. Yeah i saw it last fall and thought it must have sold then and regretted it, when it popped back up i had to go check it out. Paul i noticed your post about the nats , i say go sunday. A buddy and i have a wedding fri so were only gonna be there sat/sun. I hope to take the...
So do you think the leak down lifters suggested above would help out , sounds like apossibility from the rhoades website reduces both lift and duration at lower rpms ?
Sorry it has an Eddy Performer RPM intake on it now. So if lift is an issue (and stop me if this is a dumb question0 as im totally new to this and am terrible at cam stuff no matter how much i read. With my adjustable rockers could the "ratio" be adjusted down to lower the lift and help a bit?
