I was wondering how much lifter noise you should have before adjusting the lifters. I have a newer rebuild on this motor and I have done the run in and there is a little more lifter noise now than at first hot tappet seting, Is this ok or should I readjust. There is about 300 miles on engine.

The springs were a little tweeked, the axle housing perch was semicresented so I loosened the u-bolts and leveled it. I am proud to say that the noise is gone. When the ass end load it was kicking up making the u joint bind more. Thanks for the information

I have the motor running fine, the problem is at 1700 or so the rear shakes and trimbles. I have it on stands and the pumpkin is angled up tward the floorpans, and the rubber bumper on the pumpkin is hitting the floor pan. What is the correct agle for the rear end. horizontal, tward the tailshaft or something in between? Is that my problem or should I start building another rear end?

I am new in here and am looking for the information that is not avalible from a manual. I have a 65 k fastback, older restoration, and a 65 gt fastback that I am getting ready to paint. It made it past the fully disasembled stage. I am happy to be closing the door on it. I am very happy to have found this website and thanks for the info.

Did you put a vacuum gauge on it? What kind of coil are you running on the car.

I have a flutter that starts at 1700. The valves are adjusted, I have new carb, distributer cap and wires, set the points, checked the timing with a light to see if it was dancing and it held even. I was wondering if anyone else has ever run into this and what the remedy could be. I'll also take any guesses.
