The carb hasn't been messed with since I've had the car. I will look at the kickdown though. It kicks down perfectly at the speeds it says in the book. If I'm heavy on the gas it shifts nice and firm. Its just on light throttle that it's barely noticeable. In normal driving when taking off from...
I figured I would update everyone who helped out. I got a new aluminum radiator and put a new thermostat in. The car is running nice and cool now and the lifter tick has gone away. I'm gonna do an oil change and adjust the transmission bands since I don't know when they were last done. Any...
