Here's an image of an Isky Racing Cam Spec sheet circa 1995. You can see my cam, Part # 351390 about half way down the sheet with the blue highlight. The intake and exhaust timing are on the second page. Don't have the cam card on it.
You can see in the last column it specifys .018 lash, but there are a number of other models that call for .028 and even .030
Also, following up from a prior suggestion, I did check TDC with a cylinder stop and it may have been off a couple of degrees, but not much. The tip of the pointer I've got is about 1" from the markings on belt pulley so it's certainly not an exact science.
Replaced the magnetic pick-up on the distributor and now have it set with one heavy silver spring, and one light silver spring with the black bushing, so that should give 18* mechanical advance all in by about 3000rpm. I'm going to shoot for about 20* base timing for total of 38*
Also put in a DynoRad unit that's supposed to help measure performance. Installed a new air cleaner that's a bit bigger than the standard S&H. Will post a picture later - it's aluminum oval that fits the inside shape of the turkey pan and has a Cobra emblem on the top.
Next on the list of to-dos is the carb jets and accelerator pump. The Holley TricKit came in today from Summit. Appreciate any tips on this as well.
Now if the %$*&*#*T rain will stop I'd go out and see what the result of all this is!
Cheers!
