I just bought a 64 Plymouth fury wagon in rough shape but it's a good running car. Starts right up with no smoke. PO said engine and tran's rebuild 5 years ago. He had no proof but with the way the car runs I belive him. I'd rather not tear into the block yet if I don't need. Currently , the car has original poly 318 with
- early cast iron 4 barrel intake
- later Carter AFB (#9636A, emmission control version)
- stock distributor
- new msd ignition wires
- All new plugs
- timing set at 15 degress
- currently fabricating a custom phenolic spacer out of Garolite CE from Mcmaster Carr. 1" tall 4 holes
Also PO said when he had the engine rebuiltb they "put a mild cam in there" and machined the heads but I have no way of knowing so I'll assume it's close to stock, or stock.
What can I do, as far as semi-external mods go, to hot rod this thing out tastefully?
