Response to Re: Mis matched parts

Thanks alot guys for your input. The car has 3.50 trac lok. The dizzy I put in it was supposedly tuned, but the previous owner didnt say what RPM it would be in by. I used a dial timing light, I'm wondering if the cam is not in correctly. I plan to degree it to make sure, plus the damper may be slipped as well. When I mapped the timing, it idled best at 0°, then mapping it up to 3500 at 500 increments it would only read 10° total. The car wanted to run warm during the summer, i was thinking maybe the cam was not installed right, but I'll find out. I also have a 1.12 4100 carb I can put on it. Its a good time to change the exhaust manifolds, as i've now got an exhaust leak thanks to those cheap coated exhaust gaskets the previous owner put on. I could consider changing the cam down. AGain, thanks much for your input.

Tom
