    Ello with 383 troubles

    From what I gathered, factory compression was 10:1 when equipped with a 4 barrel carb, which is was originally. We reused the factory pistons and 915 heads, so I would say we're still near 10:1, maybe a point or two above that. Knowing that, I had him running 93 octane with no change. We also...

    Ello with 383 troubles

    I'm not entirely sure. I do know the engine "should" be healthy since it has all new bearings and rings and the valves were redone. I stopped to check the timing today and walked into the garage with the carb sitting on the bench torn apart. He was cleaning it because it was gummed up some. So I...

    Ooops. I guess I didn't say! Ha. It's a factory Mopar electronic ignition. I'd like to have it hooked up when we check the timing.

    The original box reads centerline of 115. It does not, however, list the LSA on the box nor does the Mopar performance catalog we have list it. However, if I bring the part number up on Summit Racing, they list 115 as the LSA and do not the list the centerline. I'm going to get the ignition...

    Ello with 383 troubles

    Here's the cam specs off the box, Purple camshaft P4452783, lift of .450/.465, duration 268-284, centerline 115, overlap 26. When he initially got the big block, I had mentioned him getting a stall and gears, since he was putting a mild cam in it. I picked the stall for him going by a Mopar...

    Ello with 383 troubles

    Okay, to start, names Sean and I'm not a Mopar guy, I'm more of a GM guy, but my father is all Mopar all day. He owns a '66 Plymouth Satellite that was originally optioned with a 273. When we got the car, we went through the process of restoring the car. We stuck a 318 poly in it which ran...
