    Why do I keep breaking rocker arms?

    So I finally took my rebuilt 225 (1700 miles on rebuild) with its 3-speed manual transmission and big cam in to my mechanic to have it set up with one of @halifaxhops' hotrod distributors and during the tuneup something sounded off and when they checked the valves they found a broken rocker arm...

    Better acceleration?

    So I was finally able to get my Valiant out for a real road trip for the first time since the rebuild, and really since the first time since I've owned it.

    Proper Exhaust Diameter fo a 4bbl 225?

    Hi all, I recently had the 225 in my 65 Valiant 100 (engine is a mid 70's) rebuilt with a 4 barrel carb, performance cam(not sure of the specifics) Clifford intake and dual exhaust headers, all of which feed into the original exhaust pipe. I'm noticing a dip in power when hard accelerating...
