Updated the original post to reflect the change... my notes show I had at .025 for the valves, not .022, sorry. Cam is E110822.

Trans shifts great, have small leak at the main seal since I sadly didnt replace when I replaced the converter. Not bad, and it's full. Shifts great though, no issues going into gears either. I doubled checked all the linkage underneath, had someone else shift through the gears while I was under the car, looks fine. Nothing binding or grinding.

Distributor is a brand new MSD Streetfire. Not sure what else you're looking for on that.

So I tried again with the medium and heavy springs. I reset initial timing to -18 (doing it the right way this time), did some adjustments on the carb screws using a vac gauge (about 12in) and reset the idle to 950 in park. When drop to D/R, idles goes to 900 and purrs like a kitten. Timing gets up to about -33 @ 2800rpm. Only time theres not a smooth increase is coming off idle to about 1150. But rest is there. Drove a bunch today (no WOT) and seemed very clean and smooth. Backed up no problem at all.
