Great advice... Hopefully the O.P. understanding and /or asks more questions...Make sure u have at least 165 cranking compression or ur motor will be dead off the line or u could advance it 6-8 degrees to help it out. Kim
Listen to C.B.... He knows his sh"t ... Had a few conversations with him.....If you don't have a true 10.5:1, advance it more as long as you have clearance....
I install those in stock 340's at 100-101 range.
I think you'll be disappointed. I've swapped those for people, going from a 284 to the 292. The 284 outperformed or was equal to a 292 except for about the last 500 of RPM range.
im yanking out the 284/484 and using this one, p4120233, 76 deg overlap,108 cl.3000 stall and 391s with 295s out back, may advance 4 deg, not too worried about a dog out of the hole
Look at it this way, would you want it to be a dog out of the hole?im yanking out the 284/484 and using this one, p4120233, 76 deg overlap,108 cl.3000 stall and 391s with 295s out back, may advance 4 deg, not too worried about a dog out of the hole
thanks for all the advice guys, all i really wanted to know was if anybody could recall who was grinding cams for mopar in 1980
He said it was in a DC box, ....AFAIK that predates the wide lobe separation version,.........and listed the "233" P part#w/76 deg OL, so ...................unless there was aMake sure which version you have. There were two. One ground on a 108 and one on a 112.
Expect ~9-9.5"Hg of vacuum, and You'd better plan on a 9.5" torque converter if You don't have the above squeeze or advanced as recommended, unless You're runningim yanking out the 284/484 and using this one, p4120233, 76 deg overlap,108 cl.3000 stall and 391s with 295s out back, may advance 4 deg, not too worried about a dog out of the hole
