Thanks Wally,there is a Ball&Ball carb. now its like new after installing a Jiffy-kit ,carters seems to be of high quality,there was a few problems woith it before like to high floatlevel and a bad floatneedle, so it starts better now,problems began with with a cable lose in ignitionlocker (ign 2) before I  could see that I smash one new muffler and probably exhaust manifold it was a bigger crack than before,can promise You that the BANG from all fuel/air mixture inside muffler after me pumping ,was bigger than a bang from my Heckler&koch 7.62 machinegun,atleast it wake up some neigbors!Problems is that it doesnt matter if under -15 celcius or inside garage ,ofcourse its cranking heavier,but takes a longtime before ignite.Will check resistance of all cables after advice from other clubmembers today.Don Dulmage also is continuing helping with advice outside maillist,thanks Don. Today I will go with the slant six/V100 to my parents to celebrate christmas,and wish You all a merry christmas!Glenn, Sweden.          "wally breer" <wbreer@xxxxxxx>

> Hi Glen!
>                   Well I don't know whats wrong with your slant but my '63
> Dodge (220 Wagon, 225 cid Slant with 904 TorqueFlite ) was a flawless
> starter in the cold (-30 to -35 Celsius was not a problem!) I equipped the
> car with  a high cranking amp 500 or better
> size 27 battery , along with that I did not scrimp on the tune up parts ,
> the points and condenser were Blue Streak brand (Standard motor products
> company) with the copper contact strip , the distributor was in flawless
> condition with all connection surfaces to the engine clean and tight,
> Ignition cables were Chryco 7mm  Hypalon with a Standard cap and rotor. All
> electrical connections in the ignition system were clean and soldered (not a
> crimp connection anywhere!); Ignition coil was the factory part . During the
> tune up phase I adjusted the basic timing to 2.5 degrees before top dead
> centre , curb idle speed (warmed up) to 625 rpm with the idle mixture
> adjusted to its leanest setting using a vacuum gauge and tach to adjust .
> Fast idle was set to 1100 Rpm (warm) Choke was the factory piece set to two
> notches rich from index.  (Carburetor is a Carter Ball and Ball single) The
> single barrell Holleys were just junk and if you have one get rid of
> it....get a Carter!  So to continue..... Tappets to spec. Spark plugs were
> Champion N-14-Y  gap .035 inches , (points set to .020 inches). I even used
> only 10w30 oil summer or winter in it .
> I honestly believe that you don't need a "crutch" like the MSD ignition ,
> ensure that your slant is tuned to a knifes' edge  and it will never let you
> down providing the engine itself is in good shape in as far as compression
> etc. My Dodge had an awesome reputation for starting in the cold and it
