I never put a time on it that way but there were nights on 11th street nobody would bite. That was so long ago I dont remember where I put the cam. Probably straight up

With iron heads and block I would tighten the cold lash up about .005 Some will disagree but I hate a noisy valvetrain Gus 8341617-frontveiwsavoy.jpg (51 downloads) 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

That was after setting them per the card. The 6 pack seemed to like that better.

It was a 440, 906 heads, 10.5 TRW piston, M1 single plane intake, very simple engine. It pulled 15in of vacuum at idle and was very streetable. ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!
