Thak you for responding so quickly!!!
Well, The timing card from Crane said that The Cam was ground 1 degree retarded
for better lob shape and hardness. Furthere, that for best performance to
install the cam 5 degrees advanced. So, with 50 thousandths of an inch valve
lift on #1 intake the crank is at 6 degrees btdc. I was about 9 degrees off of
that... Any ideas other that to take it back, though I do appreciate the
thought.
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. Do you work at Apple? I am a Mac manager...

Send it back to Crane & tell them you want one that fits specs. You shoudnl't
have to deal with some one elses mistakes.
