I have a 61 Lark VI with the 170 and 3sp auto. I apologize if this has been answered before, but I can't find an answer anywhere.
When driving down the road, I have no issues going 55, but anything above that and it doesn't want to cooperate very easily. I'm aware that may be the best I can do, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get just a little more out of it. I would ideally like to be able to cruise at 65-70 if I were to take it on the interstate.
Will a rebuild be necessary? What are my options to *slightly* improve performance? As far as I know the engine, transmission and everything else is all stock. Any advice is greatly appreciated and I'll try to answer back with any more information I can supply. I've had this Lark for nearly 2 years and still don't know much about it.
Thanks in advance!
