Yeah, having to work for a living instead of playing with cars is a real bummer. LOL!!
What's a nice cam for an otherwise stock 318? It has a Performer (not RPM) intake and Edelbrock 600 carb. Don't want anything crazy, it's my daughter's car. Thanks again for all the help. I think we're getting somewhere.


Yeah I know I've been (gainfully) part time employed for about 7 months now after having been on disability for 40 yrs. I'm not a cam guy but I would avoid the MP cams and get one of the real mild comp cams but iirc been a few reported probs w their lifters & I've been following threads on them & w the near stock (in effect) intake/carb plus it being her daily driver I'd want a very near dead stock idle w maybe a bit more lift/area under the curve to build some psi for more mileage/driveability. I'm still wondering if a vac leak required that much timing to get it to run or if the dist/inter gear was off. I sure hope we're getting close(er) EDIT Comp or Voodoo
