[QUOTE="Recon, post: 16928963, member: 181287"] Update. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230626/0100a515f4005b6c8dd22efebeaf9014.jpg[/IMG] Distributor is bad. Thanks to the scope for clarifying. We spoke with our machine shop in Clarksville to get some clarity on a few things. The machine shop recommended a different distributor, and it will be here on Friday. Headers are too big for the set up. I called Hooker and that’s all they offer for the big block. They said a set from a first Gen Camaro might work, but it’s just marginally smaller. The topic of it even fitting my car is another toss up. So, I’m going to look at other brands that offer what we need, but there’s still a possibility of the Hookers going on engine. I really wanted them on the car. I had a suspicion the cam was incorrect. We had someone assisting us in getting the cam. This was during a cam shortage, and options were extremely limited. My wishful thinking deadline, at the time, was getting pretty close to arriving. The cam that was ordered still wasn’t in stock. So, another cam that was in stock was ordered. I had the specs of the cam already. I wanted to do some comparisons to another cam I heard. I find mine online, and it gave some engine stats. My concern was the CR wasn’t close to mine, as in lower.
