my first cam break in

Make sure you have a known 'good' carb, so it will fire and run.

Box fan in front of rad. Hose handy. Something to watch the RPM's tach inside or one hooked up under the hood. Double check everything before you fire, oil level, coolant level etc. Leave the distributor loose enough so if you have to turn it some to get it to smooth out, you can.

It would help immensely if you have a second person there to check for leaks etc while doing the break-in.

Fire it and bring it up to 2000-2500 RPM and vary between the two for a minimum of 20 minutes.

Good luck!
