Thread: Cam Advice Needed By Experts Please

Tweet

low cr and heavy car . it will be tough to move it. the cam you have is ok have used one like your cam in a truck it was ok . you should work on the dist curve and see what that will do. try to re curve it

I did work with that a little. I have an HEI and I took it apart, cleaned it up and installed the lightest springs that came with the accel type kit. There were 3 types of springs. The vacuum advance works. Have it set at 10 btdc at idle, and it is all in around 2800 at 36 degrees. I have played with it, but it has been A long time since I really set up a HEI dist or timing for that matter. Do you think I should use a vacuum guage? Give me your input on how to correctly set up the timing if you don't mind.
