update I took out the Mancini retainer that I put in with the engine rebuilt and the black seal that came with the kit at the time. put in the fast fish seal with a stock retainer. The car was still on jack stands but I did start it and let it warm up to temperature rev it up somewhat. so far no...
I don't think it did any good turning it upside down except to put whatever junk was sitting in the bottom of the bowls all over inside the carb and maybe changing the float levels too. just take the top off and see what is going on.
mine has the Mancini seal and retainer it started leaking on the break in. I think the fast fish with the stock retainer is what I am going to do. fast fish retainer has no side seals and I don't want to use that one..
my solid flat cams with a .904 lifter I run have faster ramps the most roller cams like I said before the solid cam is faster off the seat then a hyd roller nobody can deny that. the weight of a roller lifter will require a little more spring pressure. run what camshaft you prefer but everyone...
yes big advantage with cam and lifter wipe out. but no advantage over a solid tight lash fast ramp cam. and a hyd cam flat or roller will lose lift at a high rpms. hyd roller lifters still have the same problems as the hyd flat tappets.
a tight lash solid lifter cam vs a roller. the only plus for a roller is the lifters can't go flat. I can't see any other advantages for a roller cam but a lot of disadvantages that are mentioned here already go back and look at the posts. I will add one more the roller has a slower ramp off the...
try 34 total so just set timing at 10* at idle. it might even be detonating at that much timing. the 474 cam has 232 @ .050 plenty big for low 13's. the torker is hurting low end the rpm performer intake with a bigger cfm carb would be a better combo. 26 inch tire for the strip would help too.
the sure grip additive needs to get in there. need to do figure eights in a parking lot to mix it up. the Mopar lube is not as good as the GM and Ford posi lube
Hughes cams are not as fast ramp as comp cams. Hughes cams have a very high lift to duration that is why I shy away from 1.6 rockers. comp cams have a very narrow spread between duration @ .050 and advertise duration more narrow than the Hughes cams. I ran a lot of both cams and Mopar cams over...
