Dear Dave:
I *do* believe that you have mis-timed your cam. I have done so on a couple of
LBCs I've owned over the years and it's not hard to do. Or, the other thing
you might check is the distributor timing (static, relative to #1 TDC) It is
possible (abliet difficult, but possible if you disassembled the distributor)
to have it 180 degress out of phase. Yes, you could re-time the distributor to
work, but I suspect that you will find the big six will never run "just right."
Incidentally, I found that Ed Iskenderian's "cam wheel" (also available through
other people like Competition Cams, works wonders when installing a cam, even
at stock timing marks, to ensure "just right" installation.
