67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
With the one car that was taking up much of my time now at my garage I was able to dig deeper into the running issue with the GTS. I found out the fuel leak was not from the accelerator pump gasket, but from the fuel inlet. So after tightening up the line and the fitting it is still leaking... So I may see if I have another one and see if that will stop the leak entirely. It stopped greatly, but it is still there.
I was able to get some exhaust hose so I could route the exhaust fumes outside of the garage which helped a lot while I was trying to dial it in. I got it running pretty good at idle with 12-14 inHg, 700-750 rpm and 15 deg BTDC. any less initial timing than that you can hear it want to backfire out of the tail pipe while revving. So I will check the cam degree, shouldnt be hard since I was able to find the Cam Spec Sheet for 683801!! happy I found that since I believe crane cams is no more
