How NOT to build an economical or powerful 'teen

Well I spoke with him at length about his choices and almost all of them were "really good deals on E-bay". Also his 1980 F-Body is emissions exempt here as is anything up to 1987. On top of all this 7.5" idle vacuum ain't ever going to pass e-test. J.Rob

7.5" of vacuum with that camshaft? Something sure doesn't seem right. Retarded cam timing, not enough initial timing, something. WOW!!!

I thought maybe pushrods too long, but it's got adjustable rockers on it.
