340 Initial timing questions

Rusty, you are correct. I could easily over-think it all. :D Much more fun to just drive!!! I’m not really too worried as it does run great, sounds very happy!

I’ve only run a COLD compression test so far, will do it warmed up soon. Getting 150 cranking or just under, but very even. Happy about that as I didn’t touch the cylinders/pistons/rings. Just cam, valve springs, all new bearings, lapped valves and had the factory iron adjustable rockers bushed plus new shafts.
