    Biggest mistake ever- lunati cams

    Biggest pain in the *** for this build is what I meant. I too had a woman ruin my life but she also gave me 2 children which are also the best part of it. Personally, I stated that I bought this cam profile to use power brakes along with performance aspects for the street and could have got a...

    Distributor should be on # 1 after intake closes and the mark comes up because that is it's compression stroke then fires at that point. Unless I am mistaken.

    Awesome knowledge. Really appreciate learning that. I have a good 10-15 rebuilds under my belt over the years. Just turned 60 yrs young last year and just finding that out makes me more wise. Thanks again!

    Wow. I never knew that. That just made my brain smoke! Lol Totally makes sense now. Just never thought of setting it up like that. Then just check with a light to dial it in. Most are saying 35° with that cam but don't really need that much to start with.

    My damper has up to 60° marked and also grooved every 1/4 turn. So I just spin the crank till say 30° on the damper and line up the cap/rotor?

    Agreed. Still a lot of $$$ tho. Better safe and good knowledge helps a lot. I only know enough to be dangerous so every little bit of info helps. Also a #s matching motor so a little more stress for me.

    Once the intake opens and the piston comes up, that's when it is tdc correct? How do you figure out the 30° with rotating the distributor? Also will that be clockwise or counterclockwise? I always just lined up the cap with the rotor, fired and set the rpm then grabbed the timing light. If there...

    Biggest mistake ever- lunati cams

    Well between this and the e body site, I got the information I was looking for. I also got some informative videos which pushed me to making a smart decision. I decided to remove the inner springs for cam break in just to give the cam it's best chance to survive. Spring psi is set and I am...

    Biggest mistake ever- lunati cams

    I loved the purple shafts. I had a motor built by jegs 45 yrs ago by jegs and the stuck a racer brown cam in there. That was an awesome cam and recently built another 340 with those same specs. I called him at racer brown, as the original owner passed on. Was a lil difficult to get a hold of...

    Biggest mistake ever- lunati cams

    My intentions were fully explained to the shop before the work was done. I had them shaved to 63cc to have the compression where I wanted. I also had the pockets matched and seats re cut for 3angles. Gave him the cam chart and told him that I needed the springs installed. A few weeks later, I...

    Biggest mistake ever- lunati cams

    I was able to use the springs that were spec'd for the cam. When I bought the PKG, I called lunati and talked about it with them before I bought it and there was no issues getting in touch. That was about 3 years ago. During the build, I heard about the sm heads and decided to go with them so I...

    Biggest mistake ever- lunati cams

    Agreed. Was overheating on lunati mainly because of their horrible tech line and the machine shop that was paid to do the work was a highly recommended shop that plain just screwed me. If I would have known that I could shim that much I was able to handle that. Even still, when I took the heads...
