Hi Guys
Somebody has to clue me in as to which Mopar Performance cam they consider
a "purple cam" . The MP cam I've used the most is the "resto" cam
268/284, either one or three bolt. All that I recall have had a spray of
purple paint on them. The other "common" MP cam is the 292 - 509, I've
heard some refer to as a "purple" cam too. Ditto the "Hemi" grind 284 -
484 cam. I guess I've always heard of the "purple cam" referred to as
any Mopar Performance cam differentiating it from a Comp Cams, Crane,
Isky, etc. What's going on that I need to change planets??
300ly

Russ,
According to Chrysler's engine modification handbook, the"purple shaft"
Street Hemi Grind camshaft has a 284° duration and is listed under part #
P3690214. The 1968-1976, 383 and 400-4 Bbl. H.P. and 1967-1976, 440 H.P.
engines have used camshaft # PN3512907, which has 276° duration.
The three bolt camshaft is the 440-6 Bbl. part, # PN 3512033 (1970) or #
PN3512903 (1971) it has the same timing #s as the high perf 4 Bbl
camshafts(276°) but has a low-taper design and must be used with matching
lifters. The 440-6 Bbl engine was the only B or RB engine to leave the
factory with a three-bolt cam.
Probably more than you cared to know,
Mike

Subject: My C300's wheels
I'll be moving to Florida very shortly and since the truck rental company
doesn't
seem to have any equipment suitable for towing my '55 C300 down there it
looks
like I'll have to drive it. The car has the original wheels on it and
they need to be
rebuilt since they cut my tubes from time to time. I don't have the time
to have
that done so I'm going to replace them with newer wire wheels. Can anyone
tell
me the proper width of the wire wheels? They're 15" in diameter but I'm
not sure
about the width and a friend of mine owns a wheel shop a few minutes from
my
current residence and is going to give me a deal on the price but I need
to know
the proper width. By the way, I would like to sell the original wheels to
anyone
interested. Just make me an offer.

I forgot to mention that if you want to see pics of the wheels let me know
and
I can take shots with my digital camera and post them on my Yahoo

My experience is that the rubber band covering the wire ends in the rim,
gets worn with age and the wires then takes on the tubes with flatties as
an
result. A hefty layer of duck-tape inside the rim solved my problem for at
least 2000 miles.
As for wheel width, the size you probably are rolling on is 5.5" There
will
also be 5.0" originally for '55 on Dodges if I recall right, and 6.5" for
Imperials with a different bolt pattern. Anyone knowing better should
correct me, the Parts Manuals are quite unclear.
If you will go on selling the original wire wheels, I will gladly give you
an offer.

Subject: Re: rebuilding '64 413 motor
Hi all:
I've spoken with several club members over the past couple of years about
selecting a cam for the ram engines. As a result, I decided to study the
formula
in the club article "All About Rams." The formula can be simplified. I
came
up with the following. These formulas are for 30" ram tubes. The cam for
the 300F and 300G has a valve duration of 268 degrees and results in a
maximum
torque at 2800 rpm. Soooo,
To determine the RPM at which maximum torque will be attained when valve
duration is known:
R = (720-D)6.195
or;
To determine required intake valve duration in degrees to attain maximum
torque at a preselected RPM:
D = 720-R/6.195
Where: R = RPM
D = Intake valve duration in degrees
NOTE: In order to attain maximum torque, the ram cam gear MUST have the
cam
locating pin retarded 2 degrees.
I do not take any credit for the formulas in the ram article, I just made
them easier to understand. The constant of 6.195 takes into consideration
all
the calculations concerning ram length, wave length, etc.
Just some idle thoughts.
