Very true! The specs I mentioned are for a stock 1965 Chevy 283.
I have found many answers to questions by using the search engine. My intent is to help others that may have similar questions. Being I don't have experience to offer I can at least provide details to my issues as they come along.

Denny do you have any thoughts on your previous post mentioning "setting the cam distance"? I really don't want to go any further not knowing if I missed something. I did not set the cam to any reference whatsoever. Thanks again for all your help.
