Re: What Camshaft For A Stock 1974 350?

I think I'm going to go with the summit 1102 Cam.
Ive heard the term retarded cam timing thrown around with the 70's motors. Do I need a different cam gear? I replaced the original cam gear with a stock replacement when I first got the engine running. Does retarded cam timing apply to my motor? I also saw that summit has engine break in Oil with zinc for about $7.00/quart. Would this work for just the cam break in? Also, do I need to prime the oil pump after swapping the cam prior to starting, or is that just for a complete engine rebuild?
I'd love to get some opinions about these things. Thanks.
