Hemi6... can you turn off the caps lock, it makes me think that you are shouting at everyone. :oops:

Lots of good info. so keep it coming.
The key with this kind of project... do your homework, pick a project and get that done, then go to the next thing.

As for the 75, I bet it needs some spark advance... have you tried cranking-up the timing? Do you ever hear the car "ping" or spark knock?

The main complaints haven't been with Clifford's products (except a few recent bad castings), but with their customer service and shipping. I'm running one of their older intakes, reworked for EFI.

Thanks yet again everyone. I have advance the timing quite a bit after I had installed an Edlebrook water injection system on the car. It did make a great difference. The car previously would ping but never with the injection and lots of advance.
Slantzilla, thanks for the tranny info, I will follow up.

I was about the to make a new post asking the same thing when I saw this one. I got a 75 duster a few monthes ago with a stock 1bbl slant6 and its pretty sluggish. Its going to be my daily driver. Ive been wondering what all I can do to improve the efficency of the engine and to get more horse and better mileage. This is perfect so keep the ideas coming!

With a stock SL6, adjusting the valve lash, changing the spark plugs and advancing the timing will wake-up the performance.

With timing, doing a distributer "recurve" and being sure the vacuum advance is working correctly is well worth the effort.
