I didn't degree the cam. I never have. I was taught that degreeing a cam is just to ensure that the specs were what the advertiser said they are. I installed the cam and lined it up with the crank gear dot to dot. I've never had a problem with it before.
Build:
Worked magnum heads with stock 1.6 stamped rockers
New pushrods (yes, I measured them)
New springs
.3 over
Big Hyd. Roller cam + lifters
Stock Crank
RPM Air gap intake
Holley 650 double pumper carb
MSD Ignition
Block is milled. Heads might be slightly milled too, I don't remember
Also, going off of what Swinger posted above, my distributor rotor is NOT pointed at #1. The oil pump shaft doesn't sit in it correctly, and it's a PITA to try to re-situate it. So wherever the rotor sits, I just put the #1 plug there and continue the firing order around. That should work just fine, shouldn't it?
