I don't think you guys believe me, but, a good 283 with the 151 cam and dual four barrels will really scream. Just set them up right and off you go.
My 65 Chevelle 4 door wagon would go 8000 rpm with hyd lifters. Starting line rpm was 7200. Those short stroke engines will really buzz.
I posted pics of my 57 and the wagon in my photos.

Set the valve lash at zero and they will pull a little more.
My 65 used a Cam Dynamics 431-2 stocker cam to pass tech. Those cams only measured 399 with 300 duration but the dwell was big.
Some of that old stock eliminator stuff from NHRA will really help with street cars.

If think you might be confusing "dwell" that is an electrical term often used when setting points with cam terms.Last edited by erik erikson; 11-27-2006 at 06:25 AM.
