<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hi all, I just got my engine back in and fired her up for the first time
('66, stock 1600, stock dual carbs). She went to idling immediately and
sounded smooth and strong....except....the valves are chattering like crazy,
way louder than before I took the engine out. I will of course go back and
recheck the clearances but given that I did reset them with the engine out
of the car according to the manual, would anything other than mal-adjustment
cause this?
Is it possible somehow I got them 180° off? I had the rotor pointing at the
line in the distributor and lined up to the Left mark of 3 on the fanwheel.
Decided to let her cool back down and ask before I continued.
