Doing it right -need some advice

Dang guys! Maybe my cam just needs degreed. Lol. We'll either way. I'm gonna measure th compression and cc the heads so I know what I got and report back.

Appreciate everyone taking the time to reply.

While you have it out as mentioned get the actual compression ratio calculated, get the cam degreed, do a leakdown test on the cylinders to make sure you have good ring and valve seal. Other than that if you are not a tuning expert take the car to a chassis dyno tuner to set up the carb and distributor, or ask for help here if you are willing to learn. You have the basics of a kick *** little street build already.
