Re: [FWDLK] *SPAM* Re: [FWDLK] 58 DODGE D 500 SUPER OPTION, QUESTION.

The parts book doesn’t show any of the known 1957 Super D exclusively components. Like – for instance and among others – Generator Bracket, Shaft to Carburetor Rod and Coil Mounting Bracket.

So, not listing a Super D cam doesn’t mean there wasn’t one. But like I explained earlier: the ‘basic’ D500 was capable enough to handle the increased air/fuel mixture flow at higher revs. And the higher revs were simply and solely accomplished by adjusting the transmission rod to a higher shifting point. Higher revs need more air/fuel mixture, that’s when the second (front) carburetor comes in. In contrary to the 1956, the 1957 Super D dual carburetor setup was progressively linked.

The Super D was internally identical to the regular-D, but it may

have had a different distributor (dual point) and, the B.-Sheet

and IBM codes would confirm its Super-status.

The 325 Poly head engine had lower compression, with shorter pistons

than the D500 models.

Installing the Hemi heads onto a 'Poly' block would DECREASE the compression

ratio, to something like 8.0:1, from 8.5:1

The answer to the 'internal' components question, for any year, is shown

in the

parts book, under crankshaft, camshaft and pistons.
