Hi everyone, I am in the process of restoring a 1966 Dart Gt with my 12 yr old son. We have kept it stock, #s matching to this point. We want to do a little to the 225/ to give it some pep. I have a super six setup and Dutra duals for it and would like some advice on a cam. It has a auto trans and 3.55 gears in rear. I want it to be able to idle with a little bump and a range of say 1500 to 5000 rpm. any suggestions. Thanks for your time. Ed

Timing set at 20 degrees initial.

My Dart went from a slug to a roar. Quite a bit more pep and allot of fun to drive.
What is your total timing?

I am 46 degrees total at 2000 rpm that includes 13 degrees of vacuum advance using a can that is stamped 11R on the arm. I have a pretty stiff secondary spring with an extra long loop. I turned the cam around on the governor for a little longer throw. It is almost and 1/8 inch longer over the stock spring that comes in the 1974 electronic distributor.

I get almost 50 degrees at 2500 rpm. That is right at cruise, 60 mph with my rear end ratio using P235 60 14's. From 60 to 90 it goes pretty quick even though I am sure it is not advancing that much more. 90 mph is about 3500 rpm and I run out of smooth road around here.

I usually can test it at 4:30 in the morning on the way to work, but then you have to slow back down. The cops love to wait just after the merge around the corner. :D
