I am having a hard time getting information about the timing of the two pickups in the Lean Burn distributors osed by Mopar in the late '70s. One of those pickups was retarded with regard to the location of the other. I just need to know how much. There is probably something like 4, 5 or 6...

I was just turning over some ideas in my so-called brain and was thinking about the new 2014 Mopar offerings, and wondering if there is an alternative to dropping $30,000.00 on a new car using a 1965 Valiant sedan and spending a lot less... How much would be up for discussion, to get a car...

We (Freddie and myself) have been working on this turbocharged slant six for way longer than we ever thought it would take us to finish the project, and today, that waiting finally paid off, to some extent, at least. After nearly four years of sweating the multitudinous details, waiting for...

FABO member PISHTA has made available all the information regarding his own design turbo adapter for slant six motors that need boost (they all do) and don't want to suffer the mechanical aches and pains of having to weld the turbo inlet flange to the cast iron manifold. His solution to that...

Can someone with experience regarding the "no manual or vacuum advance," dual pickup, slant six electronic distributors answer me a question here, please? I need to know the amount of difference ON THE CRANK in spark timing, between the "start" mode pickup coil and the "run" pickup coils in...

We cut the rubber fuel line just south of the metal stub tubing that goes into the fuel pump inlet on our 1964 Valiant slant 6 as we were removing the engine for machine work (rebuilding.) On inspection of that rubber line, we discovered that the useable area that fuel could flow through, (in...

These are some really poor photographs of my attempt to create some do-it-yourself 1.6:1 rocker ams for our /6. I apologize for the crummy photo quality. Hope these rockers work better than my camera... We used a .102" metal-cutting saw blade from Manhattan Supply (MAS) to make the cut...

My partner backed the Valiant out of the garage, and noticed that it imediately started running rough. He took an infra-red temperature sensor gun and discovered that the #1 cylinder's exhaust manifold runner was 150 degrees cooler that all the rest. He then pulled the rocker cover and saw that...

2 5225 V/SA Mike Jeffrey, Lexington NE, '80 Diplomat 14.458 on a 15.50 index-1.042 under the index... #2 qualifier in the first session, at Earlville, Iowa, today (9/9/'11.) According to the Wallace calculator, that's 222 horsepower out of an NHRA Stock class legal Super Six in a...

Want to buy 4bbl Cliffford /6 manifold. [email protected]

Here is some information taken from the Standard Catalog of American Cars about shipping weights of Early '60s A Bodies. 1960 Valiant 4-door (there was no 2-door that year) 2635 1961 Valiant 2-door.......................................................2565 1961 Valiant...

It still doesn't RUN, but it's getting healthy spark, now FINALLY!!! What was wrong that it had NO spark??? Turns out, the points in that point-type distributor had an affliction that I can't explain, but here's what it was doing: When the points were CLOSED, there was NO electricity...

Spent the last TWO DAYS trying to get our new engine started, without ANY success. We didn't install ANY of the turbo plumbing, and have a just the stock, freshy-rebuilt, 1-bbl carb on a stock /6 intake manifold, and are using a stock exhaust manifold, installed with all the stock hardware...

The time-honored tradition of yanking that /6 out and replacing it with a V8 may be on its way out. There are some slant six cars with turbos on them that give serious rise to the idea that a turbo'd /6 might be a better and/or cheaper way to achieve lower e.t's than is possible with a V8...

Spelling correction: Willem Weertman Has anybody got a set of these for sale, or does anyone know where I might find a new set for sale? They are about the design and building of the /6. New or used; either would be OK. Any information will be appreciated!:cheers:

My partner and I need a torque converter for our slant 6 car. The engine, hopefully, will make about 500 foot pounds of torque due to our running the engine at about 20-25 pound of boost. I have people telling me that the original /6 convertor, because it came out of a 170, will work...

Er, make that STRONGER STUDS Myself and another member(Tom) have been working with ARP for a head stud that utilizes a better material than the standard 190,000psi head stud. This stronger stud is for those who run very high compression ratios, boost, or N20. Lead time for the studs...

I have asked a few people if they know of any cam grinder making roller-tappet cams for slant 6's and have heard no "yes" responses, yet. With all the slant 6 activity ala Dutra and Clifford (and probably others I'm not aware of) it would surely seem that SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE is grinding...
