It depends on what you are trying to acheive, The OP stated this is a resto car so ET at the track may not be his main consideration. A cam with around 220>225 @ .050 on 110>112 lobe seperation installed 2 to 4 degrees advanced will give a nice stong vaccum signal to the carbs enhancing tuning and also make plenty of vaccum to operate the power brakes.Oh and it wont burn your eyes out as much as a tight lobe cam!

I've never seen Eyeballs damaged by camshaft lobe centers, ever Rich mixtures are another subject entirely Carbs. may need modifying, tuning, when you change any of the stock parts to non stock parts, just like adding headers usually requires leaning down the carbs on all the pertinent circiuts, idle, transistion, main and sometimes the secondary jetting also That is if you want the best results from your changes You can lean the idle circuits down two diffeent ways, restrict the idle fuel feed or open up the idle bleeds to reduce the vacume signal too the idle circuits, sometimes doing both is the best answer
