[@reallyaintbuynit2018]

I have a low mileage 72 Duster with the 198. Stock cam, stock valves .090 off the head. Lots of porting, polished chambers. M-1 MP 2bbl intake. Hooker 6 into 2. Superior round turbo mufflers, H balance tube. 3 on the tree. Factory 3:23 open 7.25. Consistent 10.58's @59mph in the 1/8th. Going to a 833OD. I live East of Memphis 45mi West of downtown Nashville. Dickson. Glad I found your videos!

[@chrisparsons7043]

This is great info, I have a 73 Scamp 225 here in the UK. I have just found a factory 2 barrel manifold - the engine is all factory - what carb would you recommend? Thanks - Chris.

[@timburton5950]

Don't care what the nay-sayers comment, when I was young had a couple of these and for the backyard mechanic with a set of craftsman tools standard sizes you could get rebuild carb kits, do point's, total tune-up, fuel pump all this was easy access; I know it wasn't high on power, just miss the simplicity of those early days!!!!

[@79tazman]

That is awesome I love how your trying little things and writing it all down that is so cool. I feel in love with the slant because my first car was a 1979 Dodge Aspen with a 225 super six and even though it was gutless I still loved it and since then I have owned one of some sort from the 170 to the 225 anyway love your channel already and I am only 8 minutes into it.

[@SlantDailyGarage]

Thanks man

[@kipbreitmeyer8517]

How difficult would it be taking out a 57 hemi and putting in a slap six?

[@SlantDailyGarage]

Depends on skill level. 🤔

[@chrisperkins4728]

I have a 63 dart and I've been thinking about putting a different intake/exhast on it to get away from the 1920 holly thats on it now. I can't decide to on what set up to go with. This helps alot. I'm also in Cali.

[@20alphabet]

Doug Dutra was doing 15s in the 1/4 mile with a one barrel carb and the stock exhaust manifold in his DaCuda.

[@SlantDailyGarage]

If I changed my rear end gear to anything other than a 2.76 I would light years faster.

[@20alphabet]

@@SlantDailyGarage Third member, torque converter, tire diameter. He had to be running close to 35" rear tires, so the rear end ratio had to be interesting.

[@mrbraxton]

Thanks so much! you’re giving a proper amount of tech in your vids. I lot of cats glaze over numbers and specs.

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Good video! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@markusa5521]

Excellent video if you get the other intake to work with the spuds you should patient a lot of us with daily driver's are looking for more power without losing the MPG

[@AtZero138]

My 68 was the same color green, 1st owner painted it white in early 70s.. I'm the 2nd Owner.. now 318, which has 70k on minor rebuild .. Other Dart is Still Slant6.. Both 68, Both Model 270, Both California built Both, driver's car's.. Stock gears.. I drive mine every single day and everywhere.. 318 will cruise at 85mph plus . And run to over 100mph no worries.. Mopar A Bodies Forever.. Cheers from Huntington Beach CA

Bad ass

[@Steamerchoo]

Fantastic video! I’m build my first 170 tower power just now!!!..🤪

[@rich_mc]

Good stuff! I had a slant 6 72 Dart as my first car from 94-07 but recently picked up a 76 Scamp also with the 225. I'm enjoying the research phase and deciding what all I'm going to do to it. It's a 60k mile original with barely any rust. So far I've just replaced the vinyl top and have rebuilt the rear suspension. Thinking maybe front suspension rebuild and front disc's next. What do you have for front brakes?

[@SlantDailyGarage]

I used a 1974 front brake set up. It bolts right on with upper control arms plus I can just get parts straight from any parts store.

[@rockyridge5006]

I have a 75 scamp with a 225 it rips and love the smooth ride 83,000 original miles and no leak:)

[@seanfattireguythomas2994]

What did the Holley run in the quarter good video

[@SlantDailyGarage]

That holley carb that is the 350cfm is what I believe you are looking for I went as fast as a 17.50-ish I believe. I am going off the top of my head. Now remember this is not a quarter mile fire breather. The idea here is Freeway speeds 70mph-80mph long long drives.

[@seanfattireguythomas2994]

@@SlantDailyGarage I have a 1983 miser 226 super six with a 833od 3:23 gears 295/50/15 tires on the interstate at 2000to2500rpm it’s between 80 to 85 mph I love the little truck it’s completely stock with the factory two barrel carburetor but I have one of those Holley carburetor I could put on it but really don’t want mess the mpgs up

[@Scrambler85]

Nice work 👍

[@javier9512]

What consuption do you have with yours setups?. By the way, nice car

[@SlantDailyGarage]

I range form 18-22 MPG with the set up now. The around town driving is what hurts the MPG. The 2.76 gear is not terrible in town with the loose converter but that has a direct influence on MPG. But I drive it because I can and not to many people can say that now a days.

[@MoparMan-ff8fb]

do you have the factory 2 barrel kick down linkage and mouting bracket ? I'm upgrading from a 1 barrel to a 2 barrel on my 225 slant6 on my channel

[@SlantDailyGarage]

Why yes I do, I will be in the garage all weekend so I will make sure I have all the parts.

[@MoparMan-ff8fb]

@@SlantDailyGarage cool what are you asking for the linkage set and shipping ? I'm running a carter 2 barrel BBD carb with 904 automatic

[@barrycuda3769]

What speed do you need to be going on the highway? 'I've had a few 225 slant valiants' and it wasn't an issue keeping up with traffic'if anything it was more like could the traffic keep up with me?.

[@theeoddments960]

What are your thoughts on head porting on the slant 6? Seems to me like the head is one of the weak links of any American straight 6 but I haven’t seen people prioritize it. I’m sure it’s got a terrible bowl area and casting bumps up the wazoo that could be cleaned up to squeeze some extra power.

[@SlantDailyGarage]

The only thing I do really is back cut the valves and do some small bowl clean up. That gets the biggest gain for very little work.

[@timothykeith1367]

The compression increase by itself will wake up a slant six. The stock CR is barely above 7:1 when you actually measure it.

[@DanielGarcia-pk6br]

Like more hp?

[@eddiepiecart6030]

Why do americans wear sunglasses inside?????

[@SlantDailyGarage]

Because when you are cool, the sun shines on you 24 hours a day.

[@slipslop7156]

Yeah mate Slants are pigs for fuel tuning, I ended up putting a Sniper 2bbl on and best decision yet.

[@79tazman]

It being a 1969 what CI is it a 170,198 or 225 CI I assume a 225 but you never know there are 3 of them in 1969 so that is why I asked.

[@SlantDailyGarage]

Yeah it is a 225. All for my engines are 225 for the simple reason that is all I seam to find.

[@79tazman]

@@SlantDailyGarage Have you ever tried any of the Hughes whiplash cams for the slant six and the cam your running and one's you have used have they all been solid or hydraulic style?

[@eddiepiecart6030]

Those headers are almost rubbish. Buy some decent extractors.

[@SlantDailyGarage]

I did..... and they are on the car in this video. Thanks for watching.

[@haikkokorian3323]

A fellow here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6aakKCXZcyKitE using double exhaust manifold, 1 Aussie as yours but the other is the original truncated to keep the intake manifold heated by the exhaust. What do you think?

[@SlantDailyGarage]

I have used my set up and also a set up like yours. I do prefer using what you have as that will heat up the intake manifold for better drivability. When it comes to performance and is one better than the other????? I never noticed a difference in performance at all. I went with this setup because the fuel injection is coming soon.

[@DanielGarcia-pk6br]

All that the you did to the slant six you see any difference
