Time to punt.

Finally got the ole 641 back together. ...and it sounds terrible. Not sure what I did, but after re-wiring it. (...and getting the new alt issue figured out), new head gasket and head worked, new carb, (zenith from here and I appreciate the expedient service by the way), new fuel line and a por15 gas tank treatment and covering, she sounds like a pin ball machine. lol.

I guess I did something wrong with the setting the valves. Taking her to someone that knows more than i do. This old cantankerous machine has got me feeling silly.

I'm starting to see the point of just signing my name and making monthly payments on a new one. :roll:

Aw,what fun would that be? You wouldn't have anything to post but OTs.

Verify that the spark plug wires are properly installed.

Ford and IHC wiring had a difference- do it wrong way and get 2 cylinders firing way off about 90 degrees or so. 1 and 4 or 2/3 reversed?? For valve lash- check manual and if no manual start .020 intake and exhaust cold, then snug a bit warmer- I vaguely remember something like .014/016 intake, maybe .018 exhaust. RN

Don't give up yet! We're all pullin for you!!! How're you gonna
feel when you take it to someone and tell them you couldn't
finish it and it turns out to be an easy fix? You got all the hard
stuff done already. Just needs a bit of tinkering to get it
perfect.

Check the valve settings again. That's the only things you have disturbed that would sound like that.

Time to punt.
