6 Packers
Have a '70 6 with 70k miles on it. Along about '73 I pulled
the head and followed the comp. manual re: combustion
chambers, valve pockets, intake valve shape, and ports -
also put an S-2 cam in. The problem now is that the car is
getting lazy. It still runs fine but there's a lot longer
time between shifts. Do TR's have a habit of stretching
timing chains?? There are no strange noises to indicate a
broken tensioner or extremely loose chain and the motor
seems fine otherwise.
Question 2 - The rear end seems to want to help me steer,
while I appreciate its effort it's not a real asset.
Received a new goodie catalog the other day and it seems
(from the pic.) they have poly rear bushings that are in two
pieces w/steel tube through the center. It appears the
hassle factor may be less by beating a bushing half way
through twice than to fight one all the way through. Does
anyone have any input?
TIA Bill
