Post subject:	Re: How do I find a good combo of parts?
What are the "numbers" on that cam? How was it installed? (installed centerline) What size valves are in the head? How much "porting work" was done? What tranny are you using? If an Auto, what is the converter's size and stall speed? A well-planned tire / rear-end gear ratio is needed, you will need a posi (sure grip)and a 7 1/4 will not live long behind a 13 sec. Slant. Do you know what the distributor's advance curve "looks like"?(rate & total) What size jet / rods are in that carb.? Give us some additional info. and we will go from there. Note that a 13 sec. Slant car is going to be mostly a "race car" not a "street car" in terms of drivability and "manners" DD Quote: : : I own a 1970 Plymouth Duster, with a 225 Slant : Six.
