170 dog

Hey I just got this 64 Valiant 200 with the 170 Slant 6 and 904 push button automatic, never had the 170 before I have had a couple of 225's though, on this 170 I have had the valves redone and have gone through the Distributer (new points, cond, Vac advance, verifed function of mech advance) I've set the base timming as high as spec allows (10 deg) gone through the carb. double checked valve adjustment, and still this thing is a DOG.


Is this the best I should expect???
