Hi, thanks for the info.

While there's the usual clatter of suspension parts that need replacing, the primary problem I'm having concerns the engine's sound at higher RPMs. The car sounds like it's doing 6k rpms at only 4k rpms in all gears and neutral. It can go up to 5+k rpms, but sounds really loud like its going to explode. Certainly it cannot safely go to the 6500 redline 1970 142S cars were supposed to out of the factory. Yet it has plenty of get up and go, so I doubt the engine's tired. Problem is, I cant do 70 mph without getting into what sounds to be the "danger zone" of over 4k rpm in 4th gear. One helpful poster suggested the dizzy might be at fault. Any suggestions?

Many Thanks!
