Great car! I got mine for $2000, sweet deals.

That's what I was told. So would that suggest that I have a leak somewhere in the intake manifold or gasket, since that line is on the manifold?

I spent a good hour or so taking the distributor out, rotating the shaft one spline at a time in both directions, and re-installing it. There was only one position where the engine would run at all.

Nope, very subtle difference, if any. Have had the screw nearly all the way in, and nearly all the way out.

So if I close the choke valve a bit when it's running warm, the idle does smooth out, but not 100%; still kind of has a hiccup, but very subtle. I replaced the PCV valve, and cleaned out the oil breather really well. I've tried pinching off every hose I can find (vacuum advance, brake boost...

So, I'm a bit naive to the whole rear end swap. I know that I'd like to have higher performance equipment on my car. It currently has the 7.25 inch rear end. All engine and transmission related issues aside, I'm just wondering what it takes to replace the rear end with a 8.75 inch pumpkin...

Thanks for reminding me about the chain slack test; I did that before I replaced the distributor, but the distributor shaft had so much side-play that I assumed it was not the chain, but the distributor. Now that I've replaced the distributor, I'll rock the crank shaft back and forth again to...

Thanks 65barracudadude, back at ya. I used to have a '66 Barracuda, about 16 years ago...I was young and a bit foolish--I let it go. I like that funky old body style.

The odometer reads 84,200; there's no 100,000s on the dial. It ONLY runs if I have the timing jacked way up, to about 20 or 25 degrees BTDC. If I try to turn the distributor so the timing mark approaches 0, it dies at what looks to be about 15 degrees BTDC. Another guy suggested I do a...

So, I'm having a lot of trouble getting my 225 /6 to run properly. Here are the symptoms: Only stays running in park or neutral when idle speed is cranked up, or when engine is cold and choke is closed. Does not run smoothly, misses unevenly. Dies when put into gear (automatic), so I have to...
