Re: Problems setting timing

It is a case of back to basics.

Disconnect all vacuum ports and plug them.

Static time the engine to TDC at No 1 on the Compression Stroke with a tool down the bore, check that the Damper has not moved on the rubber (and indeed that it has the correct damper fitted).

Re: Blue's Barracuda

The "Tyreshake" comment was made very much tongue in cheek, ostensibly because of the Skip marks behind the car, similar to the marks made by a ProMod when it DOES get tyreshake.

Re: r/t charger for sale on web

Re: Moparfest 2026

It's best to avoid the '67 "A" bodies if possible as they are one year only on the steering and "k" frames and the later ones are better and parts are easier.

Re: Herts & Beds Meet - 2nd Weds

Well, I realise it is hot on the heels of the Mopar Euro Nats and everyone is probably tuckered out, but is anyone attending the Herts & Beds meet this Wednesday?
