some testing that was done says that as long as the piston is no more than .055 total with head gasket in the hole it makes as good of a quench as .030 total or anything in between.

been using auto-tech or called race-tech same thing. a lot better price then je or diamond. you need the right piston lighter weight for performance and less pressure on your bearings, thin rings, stronger plus you get the right compression height and compression. it could keep you from decking...

again details matter lol :). that was back in 2004 I think mine came out to 9.8 now that I think about it. it was a 1965 Chrysler 300L had to be careful with the total timing for pinging. it was a heavy car.

are you using 4.21 bore

my 413 .030 over with 79cc heads 8cc valve notches .038 head gasket with 4.45 bore and .005 in the hole pistons was 9.75. I would never use a steel .020 head gasket which I think you were thinking of.

12cc - 15cc on a 440 closed chamber but with a 413 you get away with about 7cc - 10cc with closed chamber.

diamond pistons made me set for my 413 years ago and they had flat tops with 4 valve notches which took -6 or -8 cc off can't remember. the D shaped for the 440 had a -14 cc.

some call them D shaped

I take that back about 4 doors I Owed a few and nothing wrong with them but years ago my friends would kid me about them. the older I got the more I appreciated them.

yes i drove cars like that new and old because the alignment was not close to factory specs or worn parts. I don't think anyone on this thread or reading this thread would think a car like the way you first got your valiant would be happy with it that way.

you're kidding right ? if my caster is not 5* positive am putting others at risk ? but if I text and talk on the phone, not pay attention, do drugs and drink and speed on a busy road I should be alright as long as my alignment is where you say is good ? or could it be that 4-door cars are less...

no right or wrong it's like what shoe should you put on first your right or left shoe first. I say whatever you're happy with is good. the best part of this thread tells you how to get there and what the reactions of the adjustments you make should do with your handling of your classic car. yes...

The first time i ever saw a comp cam card or any cam card that has intake and exh opening and closing that precise at 14.1 normal would be 14 or 14.5

bad condenser then ?

don't run it too long with the condenser wire unhooked just to test it. will burn the points. when you say going up hill it might not be enough fuel like a plugged fuel filter. check to see if you have fuel by watching the accelerator pump before you try to start.

check it with the old chain and gears. think the cam could be that off I don't ?

just take the condenser wire off the points and see if it starts that will tell you if the condenser is bad.

yes
