Brent; it WAS a factory 1971 block (gonna start another thread about that), and I knew up front I was playing with fire using that block, but at the time I had it and couldn't afford an aftermarket block, have since got one....looks like I'll stay with a solid roller cam....
Dwight; I'll be calling Keith in a week or two about a cam and a new rotating assy., I bought my present one from him in 2005....
The thing that pi$$ed me off with the comp cams tech was when I called I gave him ALL my engine specs and what I was doing with the motor and what it was going in and how it would be used and asked what distributor gear they recommended for my application.He told me to consult with the engine builder and use what they recommended, I told him, I WAS the engine builder, he told me they DO NOT RECOMMEND distributor gears to anyone,period,end of story....
I knew a bronze gear would work fine, just a PITA to change it every year. Not only that, the guy had an attitude like he knew everything there was to know about engines and spoke to me like I was a ten year old kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
