cam timing? #1403270 03/16/13 04:43 PM 03/16/13 04:43 PM

quickd100 OP master Q Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 6,392 nielsville, minn.	I'm posting this here figuring I might get a better response. I picked up a 318 that was freshly rebuilt by a Napa machine shop. It's just a stock smogger rebuild. It was layed off the side for a few years and neded up full of dirt and metal chips so I've got to disassemble it and clean everything before running it. Started checking everything over, the compression is at 7.72-1 measured. The cam is a replacement stocker, .370/.400 lift. I checked it and it's a 110 center installed at 113. (that's where the dots lined up) I advanced it one tooth and it's now at 97.5 center. I was thinking of leaving it there to help the dynamic compression. I might throw it on the dyno and try some different stuff I've got laying around before I kill it. Your thoughts? Dave

Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Dave Buy a three way adjustable timing set and check the LSA, most small blocks respond to cam timing changes Just like all the other Mopar V8 do I'll bet it will like the cam advanced (intake lobes)4 to 6 degrees more than it will like straight up or 2 degrees retarded Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Try to install it with the intake lobe center 104-106 ATC (assuming the 110 LSA is correct).
