[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 80778, member: 3426"] Just before I packed it in for the day, I installed a pushrod in #1 intake and cranked it over TDC. It read .171 lift, so assuming #2 is the same (and it should be), I guess I'm almost done with cam timing. Everything seems good so far, the only thing I'm questioning is the end play on the breather. The breather turns ok and backlash is fine, but there is almost 0 end play if that matters. The ignition timing will happen shortly Bill. I have a mag that was completely gone through, rewound, new modern condenser etc etc. Had to mortgage my first born, but the nice fat spark will be appreciated. The thought of "getting it to fire on the correct stroke" has been intermittently rattling around in my head for a while. I'll have to sit and think about it for a bit. Any recommendations for degrees of advance with these cams, 8:1 pistons and decent fuel without ethanol? [/QUOTE]
