Re: Smaller Cam..Retard or Not?

Small cam for 480” but makes great power.
I’d run it as is and get some data.
Then make a change.

Re: best timing setup BBC

I’ve seen old timing covers repurposed as belt drive covers used in asphalt modified.
Jesel may offer a drive cover if you go that route.

Re: Inexpensive 350 Build

What advantage would there be if you cut smaller ring grooves in that piston?
What problem will the empty 5/64” grooves cause?

Re: Alky engine with propane primer?

Cgarb,
I’ve had in on a gas primer like that didn’t like it.
If the weather was warm enough alky worked better to prime the barrel valve and lines.
