I am rebuilding my Sprite engine and I have the adjustable timing belt
set up and I have had it for years.
I had the cam advanced a little and my car ran great throughout most of
the range.
However, I had no power pulling hills and a hard time hitting 90 mph.
It would get to 80 just fine and stay there all day but 85-90 seemed
tough as was going up the mountains (Appalachians not the Rockies)
I have a .30 over bore, Kent 266 cam, LCB header, and 1.25 SUs .
5 speed and a 4.22 diff.
My bone stock 67 will pull 90 mph easier than the built engine, not as
fast but it has more omph in the top end.
I think I had the cam 4* advanced and I did play with it when I first
put it on the car to see how each little change affected how the car drove.
I don't know anything about cam advancing so I am asking for help,
opinions, BTDT or as Ed says KISS
