Changing Cams

Wow, just had a tornado touch down 10 miles form here and the sirens are on.
The compression calculator I used says 10.045.
Yes, I do have the metal PCV valve, I could try and swap it out.
Forgot to mention I have my vacuum advance hose on the manifold port on the carb and with 16 initial has 24* of total timing at idle.
And I did intend to use the VooDoo 262 cam that Brian posted.
It's not too hairy, it's just too soft on the bottom.
My converter is what I had in the 273 engine and I cheaped out and reused it. It has a rated stall of 1600 to 2200 and when I shift it from neutral to drive it clunks into gear and it doesn't seem to stall at all when I stomp on it from a stop. It can spin the tires,but not like it should.
A new converter is on the list, I just didn't want to buy one using the Comp specs and then having to redo it again if I switched over to the VooDoo cam.
