: I have a 65 valiant with a 6. I am having
: trouble with rocker arm geometry. in my head
: I have 318 valves(intake 1.78 by 4.98,exhaust
: 1.5 by 4.99) and I was wondering if any one
: knew where to get rocker stand shims.

: Hate to say that small block Mopar valves are
: way to long for the SL6. (The stock height
: for the SL6 valves are 4.774 In. & 4.796
: Ex.)
: You are .200+ longer then stock, rocker shaft
: shims can't take-up this much difference.
: Summit, PAW, Mopar Performance & Rocker Arm
: Specialists all sell the shims but use that
: money to buy some different valves.
: DD

: the valves are in the head already and it has
: been run. Will this affect the way that my
: car runs? I have a valve grinder and i can
: grind a .100 off the stem and maybe use the
: rocker stand shims. Will that solve the
: problem of the geometry. The car ran a 15.28
: but then converter broke apart on the inside
: about a week later.

: the motor is bored .040 over and the crank is
: .010,.010, the cam is mp 528, mp dbbl roller
: chain, a high vloume oil pump, the block is
: milled a .105, and the head a .105, the head
: is fully ported and polished with the 318
: valves, stock rocker arms, it has split
: headers and and offy intake with a holley
: 750, the ignition is a msd 6a triggered by a
: mallory dual point. The trans is pro trans
: 904 with a trans brake and a 10 inch A-1
: converter about 2500 stall.In the rear I
: have a 8 34 with 3.91s and the tires are bf
: goodrich radial ta 235/60/14. the car ran a
: 15.28 with out using the transbrake. right
: now i am in the process of trying to get the
: best weight transfer possible, i am going to
: drag shocks all the way around and losing a
: leaf in the back, and i am putting the
: battery in the trunk. All of this is so i
: can get a good launch with the transbrake
: and maybe some traction. I am also currently
: installing a nos foger. i hope to maybe get
: into the 13s with the nos.

: You can mill the stands for the rocker shaft
: flat. then use alum. clamps/stands to hold
: the shaft.Then you can use flat shim and
: shim to any hight. Cox Bros. Performance can
: help you with the stands, also a new shaft
: and roller rockers if you want them.
