‘67 barracuda heat soak and timing issues
recently got a ‘67 barracuda with a 340 as my first car, had problems with overheating and restarting so i heat wrapped the starter and exhaust pipes but it’s still way too hot, timing is 4 at idle and 17 advance, trying to bring it to 15/16 idle and 32 advance but no wrenches reach the bolt, tried a distributor wrench and it wouldn’t catch, looking for help on heat soak management and the timing issue. it’s also blown up 2 coils, a stock 340 one and an o’reilly replacement so currently have a petronix.
