I'm very confused! (by Walton and others) (archive)

Posted by BB on December 31, 2000 at 12:01:07:

I have a 79 federalized 633csi built in March 79. The more websites I visit, the more books (Walton included) and articles I read, the more confused I get. I get different info. on compression ratios, hp, engine controls, and emission equipment.

This may not mean much to anyone else, but I'm trying to determine the specs. on this engine. How do I tell if it is the 178 hp (8.4:1) of 1978, or the 174 (8.0:1)hp of 1979?

My goal is to make reasonable improvements to the engine, but I don't want to start tearing into something if I don't know where I'm starting. All advice greatly appreciated
