Did you pick up any rain from the midwestern storms I read about? I'm hoping to get two more days of sun before the next rain event.

We've had rain for the last three days... Not consistently, but rain at one time or another...

So anyone know how to spec out a camshaft with a micrometer to verify it against a cam card? I’m watched a couple YouTube clips but still have questions

All you can do with mics is measure the base circle and lobe height, then subtract the base circle from the lobe height and multiply by 1.5 to get the lift at the valve....

To figure out the rest, you need a degree wheel and dial indicator....

Well to be fair, these labor shortages and raw material shortages have had QC drop across a lot of industries.

Comp Cams has had quality problems for at least 10 years now... I remember the Mancini guy telling me about them...

Ok, I went to go start the 318 finally and when
I turned the key, the relay under the dash clicks and nothing happens. the alternator is out of it. I checked the neutral safety switch, and it seems to be fine, I checked the start solenoid under the hood and it also is fine. Is there anything i'm missing?

shittyslant6 said:
yes. it does. I was just curious if anyone knew of a cause for this. or any ideas.
It does crank, but it would be great if the key could do that for me...:poke:

Need a helper and a test light. My first thought is the neutral start switch. Not plugged into transmission.

Neutral safety switch or bad ignition switch, but since it started fine with the slant 6, I would lean toward the neutral safety switch...

Keep in mind that there are 3 different neutral safety switch roosters in the trans and you have to have the proper switch to match the rooster for it to work...
