    Jeez Pat, I hope that is not the case - Just went thru that - 'll need therapy and almost do I swear...

    Jerry, I have looked on everything that came with the cam and I can't find that anywhere - however researching the cam online I've seen that it's a small base circle - Comp 12-243-3 part number.

    I appreciate the input, this is going to drive me nuts, that is a good direction on the galley plug-

    The engine was built by local well known and experienced builder - BowTie Performance in Turner, Oregon - Ron.

    I have about 2 inches of paperwork on it, so I am happy to research the direction, thanks again.

    If you would like to call and chat about it, PM me and I can jet you my number-
