What could cause this? 360 problems ####update####

I didn't mean for it to sound like I'm against degreeing a cam. When I talked about myself and my friends back in the day didn't do that because we didn't know any better and we just got lucky. I like how you described the process of elimination when a engine isn't running correctly or isn't making good power.

I couldn’t get out of high school auto shop without knowing how to degree a cam. And that was 1980-1981. And you had to do @.050 and ICL methods.
