Re: 1968 c10 396
Maybe best just to hold off on a cam, since it possibly has one already, see how it does with the fuel injection and get the tune dialed in, maybe it will run pretty good.
Since putting it in truck, I only set timing at idle with vacuum line plugged at 8 degrees btdc.
That's if the chrome timing pointer is even correct, will buy a piston stop to verify.
So most likely the engine has timing not advanced enough, but with the Edelbrock kit I will be able to change it on the tablet, maybe it will have more power.
I was disappointed in the performance after swapping the engine in, hopefully advancing timing and tuning will pick up some power that's left on the table.
Leave tearing it down to investigate pistons and chambers for another time.
