Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I'd had a chance to check the timing before we'd left to gas up the car. According to the timing light we were still running way too much advance. Normally we would have made further adjustments before taking the car out but the need for petrol seemed more important.

After a brief discussion with Spence I decided to run back to the house and get the truck, tow rope, and a 1/2" wrench. It didn't take long and I was back.

The first thing I decided to try was to retard the timing. If our timing light was correct, we had too much advance. It worked like a charm and we were soon rumbling down the road again.

As I followed Spencer back home new problems showed up. A steady dribble of oil and gas marked his path.
