Those fans draw less than 1hp. No way they are dragging down the engine by 400 rpm. I would think something is up with your ignition system.

I used these DODGE Hastings Piston Rings 2M4726 Hastings Premium Ductile Ring Sets | Summit Racing

Biggest thing to note: There is a bug in the summit catalog and they list 360LA rings under magnum compatible. They are not. Make sure the kit you get is 1.5, 1.5, 4mm, not 5/64.

Pretty much any stock type canister coil with a primary resistance of 1.4-1.5 ohms. 8mm wires are too thick for the stock wire looms, if that’s an issue.

Magnum. Yes it was

One lower ball joint hole is threaded

That’s a fine carb. Bolt on and forget. I have one on a ford 289. Threw it on a few years ago and it has always run perfectly. Only ever touched it to adjust the idle mixture and speed.

finishing quickly, in other words

Someone should drive a fairly deep regrind 300,000 miles to see if it really makes a difference. Me? I'll report back in thirty years.

I think it’s probably mostly gone, at least off the base circle. That said, I think the concern is laughable with 1. roller lifters 2. low spring pressure 3. low rpm 4. not very aggressive profile 5. casual use application The reality is that you never hear about regrind roller failures that...

Bullshit.

I have the 2204. Reasonably smooth idle with around 14 inches of vacuum iirc. Solid torque. Would recommend.

I think around 500-800 dollars is what you could get for it depending on condition

On my magnum the rings and main bearings were in great shape. Rod bearings were a little worn, likely from the classic plenum issue causing detonation. Cam bearings had the consistency donut icing. Completely disintegrated when I ran my finger across them. Pretty common situation on these. Good...
