I have .514 cam with 223 @ .050..
By James - 03/05/2002 1:48:50 PM; IP 205.188.196.34
My cam was advertised with 280, I think, but it is 223 at .050. I have a stock torque converter and my cam is all the converter can stand. I have to turn the idle down real low or I am putting it in neutral at the stop signs. The car has 3:50 gears and ran a 13:76 at 102 thru the 1320 so I have no complaints about it's performance. I think that your cam was installed by the dots like the other post suggested. You will benifit by swinging that single point distributor around until it clatters slightly and then back it off till you don't hear it clatter anymore. If you have a vacumm secondary carb you are probably fouling the plugs. Pull one and see if it isn't fuel fouled. I am having the same problem. That is how I know. There is a fix but that will have to waite for another posting.
