yeah i'll probably verify it a couple times the kit i got comes with a piston stop so i'll just mess with it until i get consistent readings. i also bought a single solid lifter because from my understanding it makes it a lot easier to degree and get consistent readings with a solid lifter installed

yeah for a new set from what i've read it's a bit loose. people say 1/2 deflection is the point of replacement. that can't be the total loss of power though because it is probably only a couple degrees of movement. hoping the timing kit is out of degree. after work today i'll pull the intake and...

check out the pics i posted in this thread of the chain slack and let me know what you think. i wasn't sure how to tag anybody in my response lol

okay got it all apart, now just waiting on the mail man to pick up his pace ha. for reference in the pictures the chain has 1/2 in slack side to side from where my finger is at. am i the only one who feels like this is a lot for a new timing set? (comp cams double roller single bolt chain set)...

9s in the 1/8th. if i was in the 9s in the 1/4 i'd shut my mouth and run like the wind with it bahaha. unless you do mean no way a close to stock 440 in an a body would run high 9s in the 1/8th. then i'd have to disagree with how crappy mines been running mildly built and still runs low 9s. i'd...

flash, the rated stall is 3500rpm. yes footbrake off the line.

used 3500 stall tci converter. i've heard not so good things on them but i got a steal for it and at the time i was still in school so money was tight. anyway to tell if there's an issue with it?

nothing changes if nothing changes. gotta always try to get something done every day. managing my 68 torino gt i got painted and getting that back together and my 79 firebird that im putting pans in right now so i only put a couple hours every day into my dart. better than nothing. always worth...

yes i do have wot with carb linkage and throttle cable

never heard of this method. can you do it with factory mopar rockers and hydraulic lifters?

got a degree kit yesterday and it's on the way and i tore most of the front end of the engine off so soon i'll degree it and see what's up. also gonna pull the intake as after 3rd oil change (500 miles ish) im still getting a little silver shimmer in my oil. no chunks but i want to cover all my...

yes everything you said spec wise is correct. no head work done besides port matching i did myself. wasn't much. the time i ran it it was open headers, now it's just got 2.5in with 8in cherry bombs with side exit maybe 8in in front of the slick. i tore the front end of the motor apart today...

wouldn't i feel it completely fall on its face thought if it was running dry in the bowls? it revs all the way to 6k no problem, just super underpowered. are the holley pumps mech or will i need to wire in a electric. i wanted to upgrade the fuel system at some point because i planned on...

I also have a factory replacement ignition box and i'd like to upgrade to something especially with a rev limiter. do you have any good recommendations? i've heard good and bad things about the HRR688 fbo box. i was thinking maybe just a 6AL or ignitor III. multi spark would be nice. preferably...

factory style mech fuel pump

at one point i did take off the timing cover and rechecked dot to dot and it was on. seemed like it was a little off though because i could not get it to line up perfectly 12 and 6 o clock it was slightly to the right. but moving it a tooth either way was way off. the more i think about it the...

yes also correct springs for cam lift/duration. this is maybe something to help too. when i lock the distributor no vac advance, no mechanical. the timing still bounces around a few degrees on idle and when revving. gets more intense as i rev. would this be an indicator of a lot of slack in the...

i agree there's gonna be something way off that i'll notice at some point. i messed with 2 750vs i had that were good on other cars and there was no real change. compression is good and even all the way around. no vac leaks, good oil pressure, good a/f ratio. getting a little blow by from the...

yes double pumper. and a/f gets a little lean at wot but not anything crazy. it's around in the like 13s. having slack in the new timing chain i put on makes me suspect. any recommendations on a good timing set to buy that should install with minimal slack? would a gear drive be more precise...

yes sure that's the cam. bought that one after cam break in failed with a comp cams and i had rebuild the whole engine again ha. and yes i can check next time i drive it but it's definitely around 3,000 flash when i launch it. it's a tci 3500 stall converter. wouldn't have been my first choice...

i've got a video i'll have to look for it again but it was not spinning. my converter that run flashed to around 2,800rpm. the heads are mismatched one a 906 head and another is a later head. both similar combustion chamber size. nothing done to them besides new seats and valves. the cam is an...

okay sounds good. now i've got my t bar slots welded in most the way and i used a drill bit the same size as the advance weight posts to make it fit. but i can file them bigger if i need more advance. i'll play with the timing some more tomorrow and see if i can't get it happier. thanks for...

i agree i should've degreed the cam when i did it. stupid move not doing it for sure. i believe cranking compression is different than cranking psi, but my cranking psi is 160psi every cylinder within 5psi of eachother. this is the pistons .010 in the hole and a .040 head gasket with open...

yes that makes sense. i'll try that tomorrow. now that there's better weather where im at i can spend all day after work messing with it ha. would the vacuum return back to normal once its sitting at 3k (as if i were cruising at 3k) or does it stay dropped until you let of the pedal? i feel like...

okay so i've got some things confused i think. so right now ive got no vacuum advance and locked at 36 so it should be 36 all the time. you would recommend get it so its idling at 40 degrees with vacuum advanced hooked up. but i always thought as your engine revs up it pulls more vacuum so...

what would you recommend with a cam in my range for timing curve? i played with it a lot and at idle it wants as much advance as i can give it and anything over 40 degrees at 3k and it pings like crazy. ive have a feeling it's something with the degree of my cam but haven't ever pulled the front...

i replied to fishmens67 with the main stuff i've done with tuning. watched and read a lot of things about what i need to look out for especially with a cam like this but im sure there's tons of little things ive looked over as far as tuning

i have it locked at 36 now. runs a lot better than it did before. just seems under powered from like 2.5k rpm up. especially in 3rd with the most resistance against the engine

yes tti shorty headers. tuning went as far as messing with pv according to vacuum and messing with timing until i locked it at 36 where it seems happy. i have an A/F ratio gauge installed and idles at 13.5ish and cruising is 12.5 and wot is 13. gone through plugs to get it cleaned up so they're...

yes tti headers and edelbrock torquer manifold ran 9.1 in the 1/8th with 2.0 60ft at 80mph. was a lot slower than i expected. i also ran that when i didn't dial timing in so it was too retarded at idle and too advanced at all in. now i have it locked in at 36
