    Megasquirt EFI Lean Cruise Reality Check

    One of the first ignition tables I ran was a "mechanical advance only" distributor curve and the car ran well with it. I struggle to leave "good enough" alone which has led me down this path (and on a larger scale, brought me to EFI in the first place). I saw several threads which all were along...

    Megasquirt EFI Lean Cruise Reality Check

    Thank you for your help - it would have taken me a while to figure out the rotor phasing/efi problem without that tip. I'm in a bit of an odd circumstance as far as the highway tuning goes since I've got the 4 speed, 3.91's, and a cruise RPM of >3200. Is there a manual transmission equivalent...

    Megasquirt EFI Lean Cruise Reality Check

    Following up - 1.) Rotor Phasing Pulled the cap this weekend at 30 BTDC and the rotor was quite a ways off from the #1 cylinder. I installed the new one using a process similar to 67darts' procedure and from the Megasquirt website. I am planning on running a max advance of around 50, and a...

    Megasquirt EFI Lean Cruise Reality Check

    No, haven't checked anything yet. Wanted to make sure I ordered it today, so I could have it by the weekend. Can always return the rotor if that's not it! I'll update either way.

    Thank you both for this info - this has been a fantastic help. I've ordered the rotor and I should have it by tomorrow.

    Ah, I see what you and 67dart mean with the phasing.

    Megasquirt EFI Lean Cruise Reality Check

    No table modifiers as far as I know. Here are my tables from when I started the test drive last night. I could not cruise at highway speed, so dropped the max timing down to 46->40. Got better, still popping out exhaust. Needed to get home without drama, so set everything above 3k RPM fixed at...

    Megasquirt EFI Lean Cruise Reality Check

    My bad - just an MSD distributor. Pretty basic setup - just using the pickup as a basic trigger. The distributor advance is locked out.

    Megasquirt EFI Lean Cruise Reality Check

    Hey everyone, I am having a hard time getting my tune dialed in for lean cruise, and I wanted to see if anyone has a reality check on me. WOT performance is fantastic, this is specifically only a problem for highway cruising. The car is a 340 Duster, 4 speed, 3.91s. The 340 is a pretty vanilla...

    A833 Can't Downshift / Poor Performance

    Took apart the transmission today, here are the "new" synchro's I pulled out of this "rebuilt" transmission lol. At least 2 of them like this... Was assured on the phone they would be new when I got the transmission. I don't think I could have broken them. I maybe went 10 miles on this...

    [SOLD] A-Body (?) A833 Shift Rods/Linkages

    Hi, someone not in this thread PM’d me at 11:34AM saying that they would take them. Sorry, they were the first to offer to purchase them.

    [SOLD] A-Body (?) A833 Shift Rods/Linkages

    The longest rod is just under 18", so it should fit diagonally in a USPS medium flat rate box. I am pretty sure they go to Hawaii for the same price. If so, should be about $10.50 to ship.

    [SOLD] A-Body (?) A833 Shift Rods/Linkages

    I have some shift rods that I purchased years ago as A-body shift rods. Comes with adjusting swivels. Full story: I am not sure if these are OEM rods or aftermarket rods from long ago. When I bought them, I was told they were for an A-Body. I used them in my 1974 Duster with an A833 and a...

    [FOR SALE] 1974 Duster Steering Box

    I have the original steering box out of my 1974 Duster. It's works fine, but it is a 47 year old steering box at this point, I wouldn't expect to cut a second off your autocross time with it.. Firm feel charges $250 for the core, hoping that someone who doesn't have a core can use this. $70...

    A833 Can't Downshift / Poor Performance

    A833 Can't Downshift / Poor Performance

    Thanks for the input everyone, I'll keep posting updates as I go along. I hope this could be helpful to someone in the future. That reality has set in, but this is really the first time I've had problems with one, so I wanted to make sure I had exhausted 100% of every possible thing I could be...

    A833 Can't Downshift / Poor Performance

    Here's an update - I checked the clutch release clearance today by pulling the inspection cover. With the clutch pedal in, there is an abundance of clearance, and I can spin the clutch disk with the tip of my finger, so I am thinking that's not it. I've got some Sta-Lube 80-90W GL4 on the way. I...

    A833 Can't Downshift / Poor Performance

    Very true, I did not test bellhousing bore alignment, but the bellhousing/clutch is the same as it was with the old trans. I did the standard ghetto engineering to confirm the pilot bushing wasn't dragging. Could be true - this seller has plenty of stuff listed on ebay, and seemed like an...

    A833 Can't Downshift / Poor Performance

    Thanks, it's a diaphragm clutch and the over-center spring has been removed. Additional information: this transmission is replacing my old one, which shifted and operated just fine, but had a lot of miles and was worn-out. The pilot bushing, clutch, shifter, shift arms, shift rods, driveshaft...

    A833 Can't Downshift / Poor Performance

    Hey Guys, I am having a lot of trouble with a rebuilt ("rebuilt") transmission I bought. The trans shifts into gear just fine when idling in the driveway, and is marginal on upshifts (minor clash), but I can't for the life of me get this thing to downshift into gear while the car is moving. I...

    Slant 6 Megasquirt Ignition (Crank&CAM position sensing)

    I am running from the VR signal from the distributor for my spark, so I have no first hand experience, but when I was doing MS research I ran across several people using the Jeep 4.0 camshaft position sensor in the distributor hole (granted this was for small block, I just never looked into MS...

    [FOR SALE] Hotchkis leaf springs 1967-1974 A Body

    That is how they are advertised. I had old /6 springs before, and it rode about the same height as those.

    [FOR SALE] Hotchkis leaf springs 1967-1974 A Body

    These were in my 1974 Duster for about 1.5 years. Ordered summer 2018, removed early spring of this year, stored in a garage since. Handle great and the difference versus stock was phenomenal, but ultimately decided to go a different direction with the car. These springs have maybe 1000 miles on...

    High quality, kinda cheap, distribution block

    I have been wiring up my accessories and megasquirt the past week, and came across these distribution blocks on Digikey I thought I'd share with you guys. Screw terminal on one end for heavy gauge connection, then 4 male quick-connects to hook up too. Pretty readily available on ebay too - look...

    A shaft style radio - my bad on the nomenclature. Meant to go in the stock cutout of a 1974 Duster (among many other cars).
