Advancing Cam Question
I consider my to be pretty good with figuring things. But I went through this years ago when a buddy and I advanced a cam in our race car. This picture is my car now. Then, I kept saying the cam should get to TDC before the crank. This picture seems to me that the cam is now retarded. I.E. the crank is past TDC, and the cam isn’t there yet. (I didn’t move the cam from TDC, just the crank to the point where the chain went on in the 4* position.) Same thing as our race car. He swore I was wrong, I swore I was right. The car had pretty good mph. It was an NHRA stocker, so it was pretty efficient.
I’m confused now! Mine moved 4*, but I have a mental block as to if it’s right. That link about bad gears isn’t helping! And, I don’t know the brand of mine.
