How do I know if its retarded? how do I know how much I can degree it?

I think I'm gonna have to look into these voodoo cams a little more once I get home. Any specific one I should look at?

I already have the timing chain set but once I get a degree wheel how much should I degree it?

First it was the pertronix in my distributor, then coil, then carb. Now everything is good except it could use a little more pull in the bottom end. But anyways is there anyone out there that has ran this cam? I'm just curious if they liked it. So is advancing my DEH cam a good idea?

Everything runs great. It can light em up and it screams top end but that's why I would like to change cams, because I don't like needing to take it up to 6500. I would prefer it to pull more off the line then way up top. And crackedback I just installed it at zero

It's the 275DEH comp cam. Don't know all the specs. It's around .480 lift I believe. It's really not too bad of a cam its just more of a top end cam. When I bought it a while back I mainly wanted it because of the choppy idle but now that I'm getting my motor decently built for some performance...

So I'm not to happy with my comp cam and have been looking at a different choice and I'm highly considering the whiplash cam. I called Hughes and they said they would recommend using the 340/360 cam since I have 10:1 compression and aluminum heads. Has anyone used this cam and how did it...

I just bought a champion radiator and shroud and was hoping to stick with my mechanical fan so I was wondering if I bought one of the mr gasket 20" universal shroud and bolted it to my champion shroud would it be able to pull good air? Even though the 20" shroud only goes halfway around the fan...

So I have another post going about my total advance. I had a plate installed in my distributor that made my total timing when flooring it set to 32 with my initial at 16 and with high speed cruising around 48. Well I took that plate out which now makes my total when flooring it set at 42 and...

When I feel like having a little fun and start cruising in 1st around 3000-3500 rpm and floor it, it seems to take a sec before really picking up but if I'm cruising in 2nd or 3rd then drop it in 1st and floor it she screams with no hesitation. Why would it do this? My only guess would be the...

What size bit is a good starting point? And when you did it, did it do what you were hoping?

So turns out the weird idle was coming from a bad cap. Swapped it out and runs great. But the only area now I find scratching my head about is the transition plate! It takes off great off the line. But if I'm cruising in 3rd and drop to 1st, the power hits rights away with no bog but it doesn't...

I actually already swapped in those mr. Gasket springs and it took away an off idle bog. But as soon as I get home I will try that with the vacuum advance. What will that do?

Before I started it yesterday I changed the squirters back to normal and then drove to my buddies and that's when I noticed the idle and "hunting" for an idle is a great way to describe it. Then I tried the timing and idle mixture screws but the timing didn't work out so I put it back. My...

So I advance my distributor only 2 degrees and the started did the kick back thing so I set it back to 16. Then I set my idle mixture screws to where I get highest vacuum (turns out they were out way to far, about 3 1/2 turns). I drove it around and all felt well then I changed the step up...

Thanks for the advice I'm gonna do just that when I get home. This might be a dumb question but I'm a little confused. So does the primaries have anything to do with the richness/leanness at idle?

3 half turns

No, it's a 2800 stall.

We sent those last messages at the same time. Thanks

How much initial would be a good starting point?

What do you mean by starter kickback method? My RPM drops about 200 going from park. And I don't see any fuel dripping from the boosters. Compression is about 9.5:1

Yes I got my timing all figured out and set. It's 16 initial and 32 total. And my 318 has a comp 275DEH cam in it

Idle rpm is about 700 and vacuum in gear is 7" and 1973dusterkid, I originally had a 1406 edelbrock and went to the 670 avenger and couldn't believe the difference but it burned rich all around no matter how much I tried to tune it then I went to the 1405 which is calibrated for performance...

I set the fuel pressure to 5.5 as far as your other question, how would I check that?

So I have a 1405 that I feel I finally got pretty close to perfect when cruising and flooring it. But it still burns rich at idle, which makes it begin to eventually build up when sitting in traffic for a while, then blows black smoke the first time I floor it but doesn't blow any smoke the...

Not yet but I will right now

Is the modman intake the same platform for the 6-71 as it is for the mini?

I'm just using the stock 273 non adjustable rockers. And I think the XE268 cam would be perfect for a street machine. I just used the DEH275 cam cause I had it from a previous build and that cam with my 2300 stall seems to work real well together and it pulls strong to 6500 rpm but the 268...

Thanks for the link that's exactly what I want to do. Gonna have to look into that mad mod intake. -Kory

You don't have to notch your cylinders. My motor is .030 over and I just bolted them on and went. Before the RPM heads I had the 1.88 open chamber 360 heads and they were garbage all around compared to the eddy's IMHO. With the air gap intake I've never had problems with low end cruising because...
