When you were installing the cam, did you break it in like the instructions that came with the cam told you to?

Reason I asked is that I made the same mistake one time. I just fired it up and started driving it. the car always had a miss that turned into a backfire under acceleration. I couldn't figure out for love or money what could be wrong until it started ticking like a bad lifter finally. I adjusted lifters and it would run great for about 5 miles then it would start the same tick and miss fire.

I took the intake off and found a chewed up lifter and a round cam lobe from inproper cam break in.

A new cam and a matching set of lifters with a new found a new found attitude for reading instructions cured my problem. (Said in my best southern preacher voice)

This thread, so far...

Sounds like the timing is not advanced far enough. -- Royce Peterson, 05/07/2003

Add advance; make sure power valve is for high altitude. [n/m] -- Mr F, 05/12/2003

See if secondaries are coming on - change spring, as needed. [n/m] -- Mr F, 05/12/2003
