Thanks for all the advice but it's back together now and it's staying that way, i need to finish putting my 470 together for the car in my sig. Quickdart 360 i advanced it 6 degrees on the crank sprocket

Short of taking the intake off, how am i supposed to measure the cam with hyd lifters.

Fired the car up, it was idling a lot higher, reset it, took it for a run, it definitely pulls stronger and it idles really smooth now, i think the stock converter and highway gears are still holding the car back but i'm glad i advanced it, it hasn't transformed the car but it's definitely...

Pic of new timing set at TDC

I turned it untill it was middle, slid the case back on and it was 10 degrees off on the marker, i've confirmed tdc on the balancer with a piston stop.

Got the summit timing set today, dropped it on a 6 degrees advance, the circle on the top sprocket is at 6 o clock and it doesn't fall right in the centre of the two teeth on the crank sprocket it's nearer to one of the teeth. I've confirmed it's at tdc, rotor is pointing at 6, is this any cause...

Most cylinders were around 120 or so, i'm trying to avoid spending too much on this car as i may not keep it due to other projects. Quickdart I think i advanced it around 8 degrees but i did check piston to valve. Are the summit timing sets any good, they do a multiple keyway one and is a...

I dion't think you're an azz at all, it's just an engine, surely at it's best it wouldn't have a massive amount of cyl pressure with the low comp ? the timing set is worn anyway, so i'll order one. Incidently, i had a 383 with a .509 cam that had way lower cyl pressure than this engine, i...

I 've done a comp test and lowest is 110 dry, 120 wet, highest is 145 dry, 150 wet, max vac is around 8", the power brakes are poor due to the low vac, car is high geared, stock converter, edelbrock dual plane, edelbrock carb, 1-5/8 headers. I was thinking more than 4 degrees, what's your...

Thanks but i don't want to pull the cam out just to get the number off it. The power's very soft and i've got very low vacuum, so i'm going to advance it 4 degrees to try and get some cyl pressure.

I've just pulled the timing set off my 360 and there's no cam number at the front, all the BB Cams i've used had the number stamped on the end. Mick

Looks nice, 11.46 is good for the mph, hope you sort the problem. Mike
