....no I mean 30° initial

Acted the same with two different known good distributors.

I asked him about the cam gear and whether it was installed straight up, he said he thought it was a standard gear with just one set of keyways so I discounted that possibility. Only other possibility I considered was if the gear or cam was mis-machined somehow but that seems highly unlikely.

Anyone know what the deal is with the 413 truck pistons? I told him to get with the engine builder and find out what the paperwork says, part numbers, whatever, but the suspense is killing me so I thought I'd post about it here.

purrs like a kitten and yet is completely gutless.
