cam gift

ok it is time heads are done but not on i am new to degreeing a cam. i put it in straight up because that's what i know, i watched some videos and checked a few things. as is the intake lifter sits up about .020 more than exhaust which as i under stand that slightly retarded right? which says i have to degree cam. based on my compression is 8.5-1 ish. i have read here at A bodies it should be advanced 6-8 degrees to help low end, any inputs on this would help


If the intake is higher than the exhaust it’s advanced.

This is the problem I have with YouTube hacks that teach **** like you are doing.

Tools are pretty inexpensive today, and if someone is endeavoring to build even one engine then they need to buy a degree wheel and a dial indicator and actual time the cam.

We know your cam is advanced but how far is it? All you know is it’s advanced. Could be 1 degree. Could be 8.

I don’t like guess with expensive engines. Not getting the cam correctly timed is just not worth it.
