Have you double checked that the choke rod pushes up when cold?
The fast idle step is very visible on the cam on the prim throttle shaft.
When the engine (Choke) is cold, just touching the throttle should immediately raise the bolt that moves against the prim throttle shaft cam and put it on...
...& have a reasonable idle....& the same cam in a 440 is a dog. Another benefit of the short rod: max force is exerted on the crank when the rod is 90* to the throw. This happens higher in the bore with a shorter rod, where the compression pressure is greater on the compression stroke. It has a...
I’m living in Spain at this moment, althought my Charger is in Venezuela yet.
(Weather there is nice, but the rest sucks LOL).
The POWERMASTER 7019 would be the alternative to the TuffStuff 8509. But PowerMaster is also Roundback, which would be more “correct” to your 68. Since will come...
Engine masters did a comparison test, of a 383 Chevy, and a 383 Mopar.
Strangely enough, the Mopar WON, in spite of the horrible handicap of too long rods. The too-long rod motor made about thirty more ft/lb of torque below power peak, and the same horsepower.
That may work, I don't know. At a glance, it reminds me of those plastic automatic transmission pan gaskets...the ones with the rubber ribs in them for sealing. They seemed to work well.
I use this:
This sealant seems to be the best that I have ever used. NO black, ultra gray, blue, orange or...
I had the front doors on both my ram 2500 and my Grand Cherokee, done to match the factory "deep tint" rear windows. Makes a huge difference in glare, especially when you have contact lenses, even at night. Cuts down on the "starburst" effect, a LOT.
Uh, 5.7" rod, divided by 3" stroke, is ONE POINT NINE. You are wrong. Same for a 265/ 283/301.
The warning was cause of the crappy heads on a bbm. Note, the warning was for AUTO trans only.
And Jon Kaase can make anything run. And you think the short rods are why it runs? I'm betting its cause...
Jon Kaase.
Another one who gets it. Multiple EMC winner & winner with the 400 Ford engine below. 4" stroke, very short 5.565" rods for a 1.39 r/s ratio. Made 660 hp with a mild cam.
For sale or trade( more on trades later): a 1967 Coronet R/T ROLLER. This is a currently running and driving street legal car that can be test driven before I remove the engine and and transmission to check the chassis and brake conditions if required. It has an 8 3/4 rear end with 3.55 gears...
