Re: My Engine Dilemma..need honest answers

600 cfm carb is not the problem. Did he degree the camshaft? Who knows where its installed if he didn't. Engine may be really tight on the clearances.

Your tune could be off. 16 initial minimum with that camshaft, 18-20 mechanical advance in the distributor, all in by 3000 RPM. Limit vacuum advance to 10-12 degrees and I would suggest hooking up to full vacuum port on carb. DUI distributors can build you a HEI distributor that will provide this. Give them a call, money well spent
