    Slant 6 stroker?

    John did mention that (like) 324 cubes will beat 302 any day. I need to talk to Radar.

    Rear diff oil change/check

    Im having an issue with my limited slip when my tires spin it always kicks me sideways I believe I have one side slipping more than the other. I got to dig into that eventually

    [WANTED] Boat exhaust manifold

    Weird. I see manifold + gaskets in the photos, and the description at the top of the page is "Volvo Penta Exhaust Intake Manifold with Gaskets and Bolts".

    Slant 6 stroker?

    Doesn't need a lot of displacement to do that, just needs to make good power to weight and setup really well.

    Slant 6 stroker?

    I will agree with that. John is a smart guy, a machinist, and a sucessful racer but he is a Chevy guy and may not know about slant 6 Mopars. LOL

    Slant 6 stroker?

    I find it hard to believe that you can increase the cubes of a slant six by almost 100 cubes. That is 1/3 bigger. 3.6 bore (.200 oversize) x 5.0 stroke (.875 oversize) will only give you 305 cubes.

    Good Initial Timing and Too much Total Timing Problem. Seeking guidance to minimize total timing. 1969 Swinger 340 4 Gear

    Initial Advance - engine at idle and vacuum advance plugged "all-in" - vacuum advance still plugged, increase engine RPM until timing stops increasing. This is where you want 32-36ish. I'll add, this is the combination of initial plus mechanical advance from the weights in the distributor...

    Slant 6 stroker?

    I wondered about that. John mentioned it could easily romp on a certain 302 Mustang in town through at least 1st. Gear.

    Slant 6 stroker?

    Me too. In the next week or so I might head out to Radar's shop and chat with hom about it. I an curious more than anything but the more info I have the easier it is to sell the car. I would love to have it but I would need to sell one of mine.

    Did you check timing at 3000rpm with the vacuum advance disconected?

    Vin letters question.

    It makes it more fun to drive. Ha ha. We have some awesome American muscle cars here. Always have room for more.

    Correct. You also need to plug off the hose going to the distributor while you're checking timing or it will leak vacuum and possibly throw off your measurements.

    “All in” timing is initial plus mechanical with some kind of curve that references RPM. vacuum advance is added on top of all in timing usually for cruise economy and the rate it comes in, as well as when it starts coming in are adjustable.

    Slant 6 stroker?

    Most will stand a bore that heavy and heavier. The 5" plus crank though.....no. lol

    Okay so just that I’m clear. I should keep carb vacuum hose disconnected and rev to 3000rpm. This should then be 32-36deg and after hooking up to distributor pot it should be 57deg at 3000rpm. What are those two terms called? I might have to search a video as I’m now confused.

    Rear diff oil change/check

    People have filled until the oil drools out the fill plug hole for decades, but that's actually incorrect and could lead to an overfill situation. The factory service manual has a spec for the quantity of gear oil to fill it with. That's what I would follow.

    I want to redo my trunk pans because I didn't really figure out the welding process/ clamping-screwing down panels to the frame but I think I can save them.

    Slant 6 stroker?

    Even if you bored it out like in A56's post to a max 0.130" over to 3.53" you'd need like a 5.52" crank for 324 cid.

    Headlight switch question

    I discovered there's a headlight circuit breaker inside that switch in my 65. After installing the new one. Back to the original with the imperfect dimmer and headlights that don't start randomly flashing

    Yes. It's fine. The 32-36 degrees is without the vacuum can connected, just like I said the first time.

    Hi. Are you saying with the vacuum hose connected to the distributor pot that 57 degrees at 3000rpm is okay? I thought this should be 32-36 degrees?

    Slant 6 stroker?

    Sounds cool, but still had to be done by one of the methods I described. I'd like to see and hear it. Old school stuff like this really intrigues me.
