[Half-Inch Stud]

Holy crap, glad i found this Thread to set the OHC-6 capabilty straight.

My experience is the Factory points dizzy dwell will walk with RPM and Govern the motor. Solution: replace dizzy with either a well setup Mallory Dual-Point or the HEI grafted on, and yea try the Pertronix thing dingy. To let the motor eat to 7500 rpm.

My experience with the OHC-6 Sprint was to shift 1-2, 2-3 at 7000 rpm even 7500 rpm routinely. 3-4 shift was something sane because the MPH would be rather high by then.

Power started pulling the car like Boost (or a potent V8) from 4500 thru 7000+

Stock Q-JET, Moon 280 degee cam , Clifford Header. I swapped to the Stock 69 4-spd cam and it idled better but still pulled as-strong to the 7's. Stock fuel system....

Quarter mile found the car falling to its knees on the 2-3 shift. Must get an electric fuel pump, or revamp the 5/16 system to 3/8 and the elec fuel pump.

Mine revved to 5900 rpm at 60% throttle and got to 46 mph. It was not lacking for power at all. It easily had another 500 rpm.
