I ran that same cam w/3.55's & 4.10's, but the real problem was the stock torque converter, get the right one & the gears won't matter so much. BTW, I ran that car year-
round, w/no choke.........yes that included -5deg. starts in PA. Took a handful of start/stalls then pumping & babying, but only the addition of a shroud around the header
& a heated air hose to the air cleaner were needed to make it possible. It sucked, lol, but it worked for 8 years. I limited the mech. advance, ran no vac. adv., and had the
total set at 33deg.......think the initial was around 18deg. My engine ran 9.35:1 compression(static), always idled fine w/an aggressive lope, but never had a die-
out or stalling issue, so please......................more details sir........................
Oh crap, almost forgot the most obvious thing, the valve lash is WAAAAY wider on
the Purple Shafts, .028"/.032" Int./Exh. is the spec. only the smallest /6 cam was
set w/the .010"/.020" lash.
