Oh that is cool looking. Can we get some pics of the entire car?

Looks cool.

might not be the best thing to start the motor without doing the brake-in of cam. It you got it started and let it idle for any length of time you might get a shorter than expected lift of the cam / lifters…

That car looks awesome. Nice job. If the headers are glowing red while breaking it in the timing is way to retarded. You need to advance it not pull more out. The heat in the exhaust is from the late timing.

Yes thats what iv learnd to but I started at 36,the problem is that I have to take of the alternator to set the timing due to lack of space,think il start ower to get it right,now when I think about it,broke in the cam at 2500rpm but had to go past 3000 to get full timing,gona replace the strongerst spring whid a softer one in the dizzy
