Wade 1636 Cam alive and kicking!!!

[XR_Lightning]

EF_Machine has your new cam made any difference to the exhaust note of the car? just that at the moment I am lovin how my car is sounding and I really dont want it too change the note too much if I put a different cam in

[crannersEL]

Mine sounds better with the 1636 installed...

not really. put the cam in and it ran like a bucket of ****. went to the dalton dyno day to check my AFR's and it was pretty bad. i was fouling spark plugs, blowing more smoke than a deisel and would mis-fire all over the shop. we all thought it was the chip for sure. turned out my cam was in the complete wrong position : . it was at factory zero, and it needs to be advanced a fair bit.

still managed 134 RWKW with it running like that and on a 35 deg day : . (those who were at the dyno day, will know how bad it was running. they needed oxygen masks! : )

so how does it go now Mr_4.0 ?

Second that mate! There's a 1604 grind before you get to the 1636.

Yeah mines a bit louder and definately more burbly both on idle and cruising. I've still got a resonator on my system so its not overly loud.

well after dailing the cam in, it still wast spot on, but is 50% better. now sent the chip away for a second time get it sorted out. i only have 3 inches of vacuum, so now that chiptourqee have my AFR's and my vacuum level, they can do a much better tune. should have it back tomoz.

i'll start a thread bout it when i get it back. and hopefully have a dyno run done after chrissy.

[Mr_4.0]

sorry, i only had 3 inches before dailing in the cam, i cant remeber what i have now....

[Christiaan]

Get a cooler EF Machine. Trust in me when I tell you this.

[EFFalcon]

Yeah, listen to Yagz.
for the price of a transmission cooler, get one.
bigger the better.

i'd recommend one on a stock car.

[Christiaan]

It's not so much that a cooler is needed because you give your car a hard time, it's needed to prolong your transmission life. ~$150 to fit a cooler, or ~$2000 for a reconditioned 4 speed.

Especially in the hot summer we're gunna have, you don't want your radiator cooling the transmission fluid.

Transmission coolers should be standard on ALL ford 4 speeds. The problem was cost cutting. Unless you had a tow pack from factory, no cooler was fitted, because it wasn't deemed 'necessary'.

You should see some of the cooked transmission we get in at the workshop. Nasty sight..

Yeah, it's like armageddon in there .. :

[castek]

so would this cam run on a std computer? i'm looking at getting a either a regrind or a manual for the el. i think the manual would go ahead first, but just doing my homework on the cam. only thing done on my car is pacey extractors and a 2 1/4inch exhaust

[Interceptor'85]

Where should i be looking for decent priced trans coolers?
And should it be genuine ford or are aftermarkets fine to use?

[CaRtZ]

Davis Craig are ment to be up there in coolers aren't they?
