yeah- the plug wires do go to the correct cylinder as far as odd on right begining at #1 but the plug tower idoes not start withthe usual wire in front kind of hard to imagine but #3,#4 wires are in front - anyways the distributor works good so i guess there was some voodoo performed.
should the cam spec or any thing to identify it be visible on the front behind the timing gear?
I backed the timing off some and gained more power but the engine seems to run warmer but not overheating am i getting into the danger zone? i am kind of thinking the timing was advanced this much to keep up with fuel flow from the big carb on what i think is a stock motor (except the cam). as far as the carb i perfer edelbrock over holly also, so i am thinking of trying my 600 cfm off my f100 and see what that does.
thanks for all the info
