Compression tests showed about 135-145 psi per cylinder. Ive tried 3 carbs that were running fine on other engines and could not tell any difference. Should I try degreeing the cam and see if the problem lies in that?
I would. i think your cranking pressure would have been higher with your combo. somewheres in the neighborho0d of 160 min. maybe even higher like 170. so i would think your bleeding off pressure by being off on the cam install.
if you are using the stock 70 pistons with the thin gasket...
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
