Feeler, '67 Barracuda Notchback

Well, good news and bad news...

I got the car running a good deal better, new points, set the timing, etc...

Bad news is that it's still not %100 and a compression test shows that 2 of the cylinders are very low on compression. Now I know the car has a great rebuilt short block, but the head is the original one and that nice strong short block must have worn out the old valve seats.

So, option one is to sell it as is, as a running car, but under the guise that it's best used for a motor swap, HI-PO slant, small block, big block, what ever. With this car I'm sure that that would be the long term plan for most buyers anyways. It will run and drive, but unless you like like 1/4 from work, I'd hardly call it ready for daily driver duty.

Option two is that I might be able to quick swap a cheap running slant and get her running really well on that. Not a lot of work on that, I'd just have to hunt down a quality motor in the area and sweet talk somebody to drop it in for me as I don't have the facility to do so.

3 is I can swap in a 318 or a 360 and sell it running with good power.

Or I can swap the head on the otherwise good motor.

I'll keep ya posted...
