1966 Barracuda "car ****"
Last thing we've done: Changing oil and filter and
checking/adjusting the valve lash.
My brother checked it hot: Intake .013" (.33mm) / Exhaust: .021 (.53mm)
I rechecked it today cold: Intake .012" (.30mm) / Exhaust .019" (.48mm)
Millimeters are approx.
Still think it's pretty noisy..., guess it has to be with the mechanical lifters... I am used hydros.. 8 )
Things still need to be done another day...:
- Checking rear axle, maybe swap it to another ratio. It's pretty short now.
- Mounting the original carburetor 4119S (instead of 4120S - now installed - used to be one for automatic cars..)
- Maybe change to single exhaust system - the dual 2.5" booms at some rpm's enormously.
- Quarter patch panels (already in stock)
This is data sheet I started about two years ago and filled it with helpful figures... 8 )
happy
