HIGHLIGHTS
Featured in multiple magazines including "Mopar Muscle", "Mopar Action" and "Muscle Car"
Featured at SEMA

Upgraded with Six Pack setup
TorqueFlite automatic transmission
A36 Performance Axle Package with 3.55 Sure Grip

Something looks odd about the fender tag. On all the tags I've looked at, the C16 (Console) is stamped directly above the V88 stamping. On this tag, C16 is on one line below and over at the right side. Thus not sure if this is the original tag or not???

Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Re: Best street cam for 440 HP...
Last post by Challenger340 - November 16, 2025, 10:52:35 PMQuote from: tcs69rt on October 31, 2025, 08:07:16 AMI guess I don't know how to ask/write a cam question properly? I didn't know there was a requirement of certain info by some of you. All stock = meant the brakes all around. The rear is a 3.23. And as far as the advice offered by b5blue ...I will take it. Thanks for the help!
As is said when it involves Cam profile reccomendations.... 'output' can never exceed the imput information.
Doesn't matter where you phone.... I get dozens of phonecalls weekly about Cam rec's.... just say'in I can throw Darts over my shoulder too ?
but because Camshaft lobe events determine how much A/F enters and how final cylinder pressures are applied prior to spark ignition, things like actual compression ratio determine what's called "dynamic' or running cylinder pressure as modified by Cam events ?? my DART may be a dud
Just say'in.... a 'stock' 1968 440 is a far different animal than a 'stock' 1978 440.
regardless....
Good Power Brakes Cam for a 'stock' cast iron head 440 HP of unknown internals using factory hp exhaust manifolds is the
ELGIN #E-1094-P
.447" Int / .459" Exh
213* @ 050 Int / 225* @ 050 Exh
115* LSA
Install straight up.... or 2* advanced if you can find a degree wheel.
A 'step up' performance-wise if you are confident of close to 9'0:1 Static Compression Ratio would be the
Elgin #E-1222-P which is Sold as the Summit # SUM-6401 Cam
.466" Int / .488" Exh
224* @ 050 Int / 234* @ 050 Exh
114* LSA
Reccomend:
1.) installing it straight up or 2* advanced (use a degree wheel)
2.) If using a factory Dual Plane Intake grind a .250" deep equalizer port between planes in the plenum.
***** with either Cam insist upon HT-976 Lifters ******

You're right Kern, Toluene is the ticket. I'd be careful with the stuff. Don't know what hazards it poses. Probably find answers on the net.
I think it might have issues in cold weather.
Take Care

That black Valiant....
Body looks like a 70-71, grille is a 1969. Hood "Plymouth" emblem was I think 70-72.
What was the price?
Saw the Valiant for sale on Facebook in Anderson, CA... $2500

Last post by Kern Dog - November 15, 2025, 09:30:42 PMI have read that Toluene was used to boost octane at one time, they may still use it. No lead anywhere though, that was phased out over 20 years ago, probably longer. The last time I recall buying leaded fuel was in the mid 90s.
