ignition timing ?

I just had one other thought. When you welded up the slots to .445" was that the total length of the slots in the cam without the weight pins sticking through or did you have things assembled and .445 is how far the weight pins can travel?

Hopefully that question is at least a little clearer than mud!! If not I can take some pics of mine and post what I'm saying with pics.

I never did get around to installing mine. Seems like one thing then another happens and throws me off.
