Hello Everyone! Pulled front of engine apart this afternoon. I was hoping to find I had gears off. Well, according to my machine shop / engine builder, it is the way it should. I've attached a pix of the gears. We called Comp. The cam is a custom grind. They said on 7 1/2 CL. I kept comming up with about 8 1/2 so I advanced it 2 deg. You can see this on the gears. Now I'm kind of back to square one! We are gonna double ck this again tomorrow. I did double ck at TDC and I'm pointing at #1 on the dist. Firing order is correct. Checked 3 times with another set of eyes! I just can't see it being ignition related, because it ran the same with the Mopar ignition in it. Just very lazy, no power to get out of it's own way. Anyone ever heard of a cam doing this? Crank key wrong? I'm lost (again)! Take care, Jeff



Not sure who said it, too lazy to look, but now that you checked the cam, I would check lifter preload, valve adjustment. I would think even if only one carb was working it would still run okay. Did you check the gas like was suggested? I'm waiting to see what you find, interesting problem, hope I don't have the same one shortly.
