Warm Engine Idle Issue

Where is the cam installed? That's a big cam for a 318. It should be installed advanced pretty good with stock compression. More than the 4* that Comp says. Your cranking compression sucks dead camel balls at 135. This is why you have to pull in so much initial timing. Just kinda spitballin.

Heh heh , yeah that's not helping is it...and I would have used a 4 corner idle with that cam 600 dbl pump. He could drill the butterflys so he can get the throttle blade where it needs to be if he wants.
