    Rhoads hyd flat tappet lifters setup confused?

    I’m replacing my standard hyd mopar flat tappet lifters in my 383 with rhoads hyd flat tappet lifters. The installation directions are confusing to me at one point. It states to set them up by determining when the pushrods just start to compress down ever so slightly on the cup within the...

    I’ll explain a little background on this situation so that it is easier to diagnosis my possible issue. First let me again thank all of you that have helped me within the last year while I was tackling a lot of suspension and engine work on my 67 dart. I have learned quite a bit from all of...

    Current options on multipurpose lifters?

    I’ve come to a point where I feel it best to ask the peanut gallery. After a long learning process and overcoming many issues thanks to everyone’s help on here I have to make a choice. The 67 dart is back on the road and seems to be running fairly well. The issue I noticed is that three of the...

    Using vacuum gauge to tune engine?

    “I moved this update to a this new thread because I wasn’t getting feedback on what to do next in this situation.” I recently took my edelbrock performer rpm intake to a machinist I trust explained the situation to him and had him mill my intake .040 on each side. That is the same thickness as...

    Should I mill my edelbrock performer rpm intake?

    I’m trying to get my aluminum edelbrock performer rpm intake to line up and bolt down to my aluminum edelbrock performer rpm heads. The engine is a 383 and I don’t believe the deck has been milled at all? Not positive about that because I didn’t build the motor when it was done about 20 years...

    Difference between hyd flat tappet and hyd roller cam?

    I’m asking this question because I often get confused as I’m attempting to fix/upgrade/repair my 67 Dart. Currently I’m installing a new timing set and chain due to chain slack/wear. I noticed in the Cloyes timing gear set I ordered there was a three bolt cam gear and a cam thrust bearing...

    Help finding replacement timing chain.

    I did some research on my own but am at a loss. I know the gurus on this site will have a solution. Ok so I posted another thread explaining that I’m taking out my cam to get it notched then putting it back in my 383. I’m also upgrading the heads, geometry kit for roller rockers etc. I...

    How tight is correct for the timing chain?

    Im in the process of reinstalling my cam after having it notched for better oiling. When I pulled off my timing chain it had a little slack in it. Is some amount of slack ok in a double roller timing chain? If so how much? Also is it good insurance to just put another double roller chain in...

    Best low profile 383 dual plane aluminum intake?

    Im on a tight budget after all the upgrades I recently did to my 67 Dart. Therefore I thought what performance upgrades could I apply to my 67 383 formula s at minimal cost. The original 383 engine as far as I know has never been apart and has great compression and uses very little oil. I was...

    Can’t get Harland sharp rockers to fit on head?

    So I already swapped out the drivers side of my 383 engine’s 915 heads and upgraded to my edelbrock performer rpm head. It’s all torqued down to spec and I can’t get the Harland Sharp rockers to fit all the way down on the edelbrock rocker pedestals. I took some photos of the problem. You can...

    First time swapping edelbrock aluminum for 915 cast iron heads.

    I’m planning on doing my first head swap on my 383 in my 67 Dart. I’m going from 915 cast iron to aluminum edelbrock performers. I’ve watched a few instructional videos on YouTube but still have a few questions. I though I’d put some questions out there for help. I’ll be swapping my Harland...
