Slants usually have stretched timing chains. My problem is the same as you described. I'll come to a stop in gear and it wants to stall but the second I hit the gas pedal it straightens out. Figure its a sloppy chain because when its sitting, the chain is loose and when you give it gas it...

I converted my scamps 198 to the Super six setup responsiveness and mpg increased. I get about 22 mpg in town with the 2bbl and Pertronix ignition versus the 15 I was getting with the 1bbl. The only issue I ran into with the swap was finding the kickdown linkage for an automatic. I did find it...

It's a Fram CA146 on all years of the 1bbl slants. If it's the 2bbl super six it's CA160. I think the part number will be the same on the other brands it'll just have different letters in front. :) when I had the 1bbl i got the filter (wix) on ebay for $9.

I didn't even know the 198 existed until I bought my 71 scamp and looked into it. It's a B engine code and the casting behind the alternator matches. It has the Super six setup with a carter bbd and lokar kickdown cable gets a steady combined 21mpg with the ignitor II and flamethrower coil. I...

Thanks for helping sry it took so long to post again. I am still trying to decide. I think the 276 .490 cam sounds pretty good but can you run it with a stock automatic without having problems as a dd? I do want it to sound like it has a cam but nothing to crazy. Being a Gemini I can't ever make...

LTOP I would take a blown six over a Lopez cam anyday. Lol! Do you actually drive the car around town (can you?) I can imagine it at a car show and how much attention it gets. :)

I definitely want an 8.75 rear I just have to find one that hasn't been laying around in new england lol! I went to my machinist today and he suggested that I call up Isky (the guy that started the company over 60 years ago is still there!) He also said all cams are nitride hardened (the black...

Charrlie_s love it! any pics?

.470 kid your car is an auto or stick? I did find a .473 valve lift (@ 1.5) 256° duration cam for the slant from Howards Cams but I've never heard of them. If I go custom grind I really have no idea what to aim for. I have a stock 904 and 7.25" rear with 2.76 gears (my whole rear axle is yellow...

cjh and moparkid you both are running .520 for a valve lift if I got the math right (lobe lift × 1.5 rocker ratio)?

I was really looking at the .440 lift 260 duration 110° separation cam Comp has even if I got those specs ground somewhere else but wasn't sure how street able it would be. I have non power breaks, nothing needing vacuum (The carb is a holley 6299 with mechanical secondaries) so the separation...

Nice! Is that the original engine? 170? I love slants!!! What do you plan on doing/ what have you done to your leaning tower of power?

how much was the cam and what are the specs? (Just curious cuz I started this thread to figure out my cam :)

I'm going to reuse the pistons. The cylinder walls look good so just going to hone them. The engine only had 42k original miles so everything looked pretty decent. I was thinking of going 30 over but that would lower compression I guess. I have the 1.70 1.44 stainless valves head milled .090...

What kind of horsepower would I be looking at with the stuff I've done and saying with a decent cam? 805moparkid do you know your hp or just times?

The head and intake manifold are gasket matched, ported and polished. The guides under the valves are blended. I had help but did most of it myself. I used various fine grit wetsanding paper and the felt roll tips for a dremel with some valve lapping compound to polish all of it. I had other...

My head and intake manifold are ported and polished. It was one of the first things I thought about doing. :)

Lol ! I like that! Well the best and worst part of old cars is the constant attention they need. :)

805moparkid i like the setup, the car sounds awesome! I was thinking of the two side pipes like that first video. Does your car have a name? :)

I think I will contact Crowler. I wanted the lifters springs timing chain together but if it's not a huge difference then I'd rather go that route then it's custom. Is your gf's car an automatic? I was looking at a 263° duration 440 lift cam but certain cams aren't good for autos (like the hyper...

The deck to piston clearance didn't change from stock since I only milled the head (i heard you can mill the block too) but I know what you meant. I want to use the steel head gasket but I don't know where to get one, all I ever found (so far) was the felpro aftermarket kind. I want a good...

Oh and it has solid lifters and forged bottom end (68 slant engine). I'll be using the stock pistons.

I had the head milled .090. Bigger stainless 1.70 in 1.44 out valves with hardened seats and bronze guides. Will be a Holley 390cfm 4bbl on a Weiand aluminum intake. Hooker 3×2 long tube headers with or without resonators. 904 automatic with the Lokar kickdown setup. Pertronix ignition and a...

It's time for me to pick a cam and I was curious to see what everyone else has. What is the setup...carbs, 4 speed or auto, cam specs, single or dual exhaust, ignition etc. Show off your modded slant! :)

I hear you about harbor frieght....almost always cheap china crap. Vc208 do you know the degree of advance on it? How do I recurve my distributor? I don't know very much about distributors just what they do. I was looking on rockauto.com but there's so many options i have no clue. I searched...

I always hear about vacuum pumps. Where do I get one? Sounds like it would be very useful with these old engines. (My car is 15 yrs older than I am lol but I love my lemon) very useful info 67 dart 273 thanks that does help. So the vac advances will say the specs when I'm looking at them?

I think I need a new vacuum advance unit and was looking for some input on which one to use. My car is converted to the Super six setup and I wanted to know if I should change the vac advance over to the Super six one. Right now my distributor is the stock 198 with petronix and a 225 vac advance...

How close is the fuel line to the exhaust manifold I was curious if that could effect running (I don't know) after the slants get hot. I have a clear fuel filter that when hot looks like it's boiling. Wonder if that's part of why they don't like to start after they're warm?

I had a simple no start problem with mine. I replaced the electronic type stuff only to find out I had a loose ground wire. Pretty simple but very overlooked in the no starts. Change out your old ground cable. Other times the starter relay and it's wires (another ground) were loose and old...

There's numbers hiding in your 3rd pic but I don't know what they mean. This pic is my 1969 225 block.
