Slant Six Forum :: Super Six Addtional HP (225)

The govornor is the mechanism inside the distributor that controls the mechanical portion of the timing advance. The number, in this case 9, is the number of degrees of total advance it will yield, measured at the cam. Since you have two revolutions of the crank for each revolution of the cam, that yields 18* at the crank. I believe the 'r' stands for right-hand rotation, but I could easily be wrong.

Now, the advantage of the 9r, as opposed to the 15r (another common one), is that you can run 10* or so of initial advance and still be right around the 30* total that the slant likes. More tuning is still needed, but it's closer "out of the box," so to speak.

How much more HP does the Super Six setup give. The exhaust has also been increased to I think 2 1/4 inch. Its got a bit of a rumble, so the muffler must be some type of a high flow type.

Factory rated the Super Six at +10 HP. Fuel mileage will vary, but most report the same or even slightly improved mileage (provided you drive fuel consciously).

I REALLY don't need a truck load of details I can't remember right now, especially given that I have more other research irons in the fire right now than I can juggle. A really small nutshell idea would be nice - if you permit good people to put such evil things on the forum. Thanks
