MSD 6AL rev limiter setting

[65coupei6]

I will be replacing my 6A with the 6AL soon. Any suggestions on what to the limiter to? I was thinking 4,700.

Marco, if you used the valve springs as recommended for the camshaft i would use at least 6200-6500 area.
You may need more carburetor if your engine flattens out below 5500 rpms.
You need to test your WOT A/F ratio. The orifices below the power valve are probably to large?? You are looking at 12.8-13.1 A/F for best power. Bill

At 65mph I am at 3400rpm with the stock 2.80 gears and 16 tires. I will see what happens when I get my 17" rims and new gears.

3400 rpm at 65 mph with the 2.80 gears , does not add up

Something doesn't sound right to me with your MPH at 3,400rpm. My 66 SW with the OE 3.25 runs near 80mph at 3,200rpms. Running 215/70R/14s...RodC.

might B the gear in the spedo was never changed with the other
changes in the drive train ratios ( inc orrect match) ?

IIRC I am at about 3400rpm at 65mph on 3.50 gears and a 2-speed auto!

Sorry, I am actually at about 3,000rpm at 65. It may be the Dakota Digital dash is off a little.
