    Correct initial position for distributor

    Crank is at exactly TDC. Points look to be open here, max opening maybe. I'm assuming you are going to back it up to 12 or more BTDC?

    been sidetracked but I will get on it. way back I remember a community college professor said that 73 was the worst year of eng mods to meet emission requirements. iirc the factory initial was TDC!

    timing tape glue

    good comprehensive info & very much appreciated. I think I will confirm the TDC slit then glue the sh-t out of it & for backup scribe the marks on the side using it as a ruler. RR

    timing tape glue

    I had prior thought about just useing it as a ruler with a paint stick as I only need a few measurements (initial/total & a few numbers on either side of that} but I am going to glue the hell out of this one. RR

    checking cam lobe taper/nitriding lobes

    from what I read on the utube chats I'm gonna need it and it is a howards cam, its just that one of the vids said that comp cams offers nitriding & hopefully that is for any cam that you send in not just for one of theirs. I'll give em a call.

    checking cam lobe taper/nitriding lobes

    cant go roller (rules) plus its pricey. I want to have a successful breakin with failures being epidemic. been watching some utube vids & they talked about miking the lobe taper & one mentioned that comp cams can nitride a cam. what are your thoughts? thank you for your time. RR

    priming the oil pump

    I took the dampener diameter (7.25") times Pi (3.1416) = 22.7766" circumference. divide that by 360 gives 0.0632683" for each degree & times 20 degrees would be 1.625" around the dampener. Am I wrong on this?
