Rich Carb

Aha! That makes perfect sense! I thought you had already done that when you mentioned that total advance was 34 degrees.

That was the first time I have set total timing like that. I allways just set inital and thought total was just what it was. Now I know.

Do you plan on increasing compression with the larger cam?

Do you think I should? It's at 10.5 now.

I am planing on running the stock 340 J Heads for now. My Dad is going to help me port the heads a little. I don't know if he has done any car heads. I know he use to port the head on his Honda 250R when he use to race three wheeler's back in the early 80's. So he knows the basics on how to port.

I was hoping for close to 400 HP with that combo. I wanted to go with a 416 stroker but that will have to wate a few years.

I am putting the money I have now into an ALTER-K front end.
Four wheel disc brakes
Keisler 5-speed
410 gears
and weld drag lights.

I think after all that the car will be about 3070 pounds with a full tank of gas.

It should be a lot of fun!

P.S. Here is a pic of my Dad racing at Pomona back in the day.
