‘67 barracuda heat soak and timing issues

it’s definitely over tightened, i swear hercules was the previous mechanic, every bolt is a knuckle buster.

i agree on the timing and were trying but we live in a HOA unfortunately and have to drive to an empty parking lot, then there’s the risk of stalling and the heat soak where we wouldn’t be able to go anywhere for an hour or more, so we need to be conscious of that too which kind of sucks.


If you have the hood up and a nosy hoa'er comes around tell them a neighbors cat, snake, rare butterfly/animal got trapped and you were trying to get it out safely.

I primed an engine compartment in a tyvex suit in my driveway. HOA person asked.. I was fumigating for black widows! LOL
