    Stock 1963 - 413 cam/lifter/heads questions for rebuild.

    I've found messing with the stock 440 in my 69 r/ t that it doesn't take much as far as cams are concerned to screw up the power brakes. My 65 coronet is somewhat cammed up and there is a delay/negative effect to the heater controls. With cast exhaust manifolds I'd error towards the conservative...

    camshaft lobe base circle

    I know and have done all that. There's people out that don't know and don't want to know. They just want to slap stuff together and go. I'm just trying to get folks to look before they leap. It was an eye opener for me.

    camshaft lobe base circle

    The cams I measured were between .447 lift and .535. The largest base circle was with the .447 lift cam. Big rollers will have a reduced circle, but these cams were street hydraulics. I'm very certain my engine is very clean inside. No high mileage and very **** on oil changes. Oil drain back on...

    camshaft lobe base circle

    I've thought about that and it would be easier than a cam change, but from experience I think the tappets are messed up. They were never quiet cold.

    camshaft lobe base circle

    i believe i have a tappet problem in the stock engine in my 69 r/t. the car sits a couple of weeks and the lifters collapse. real noisy nuisance. so ive been thinking the only cure is to replace cam and lifters. i got a few cams out and just started looking at things and decided to measure the...

    1967 Dodge Coronet R/T factory rear ride height

    I know this isn't a 67 but has the same suspension. This is stock ride height. Basically stock would be sitting level front to back.

    Edelbrock 1407

    Don't alter the accelerator pump check ball/needle. It helps in cicut drain back. I use a .028 squirter, orange pump, rod on top hole and 7/16 float setting. No hesitation.

    Oil pan replacement

    Would the 1970 6pak-hemi 6qt pan work? Rather simple and good enough for cruising around.

    Rear tire fitment

    I have 275-60×15 with 15x8 torque thrust (4.5" backspace) on the back of my 65 coronet. Works well and I think the safest large tire/ wheel combo.

    WTF is this: B&M clutch flite

    There wasn't any torque converter technology back then as there is today. Racing an automatic other than a hydro was somewhat new. Camshaft technology was taking off so an "adjustable " converter was thought be a solution. Back then I was a 4spd guy and didn't get too lost in it.

    WTF is this: B&M clutch flite

    I remember some people in the indy area working with the clutchflite and was under the impression that they were instrumental in the concept. Could be wrong. That's been many years ago for me.
