HACOA is actually having a club tech session tomorrow. It’s a great chance to meet some of the members and ask questions as well. I’d be there myself but am out of town. Information should be on the website.

As is the case with problems on 50 year old cars sometimes the issue is not caused by one source but multiple sources.

Right, for some reason I thought you had an automatic. The 140 with a manual trans (particularly a 61-3 4-speed with it's lower first gear) is wonderful right off the line. The ideal build (IMHO) is a 140 with a dual-pattern 280-duration cam (Otto Parts/Clarks OT-20, for example) and headers. That ...
