Yes, small cam for sure. For me, the price and availabity were big factors, along with guaranteed vacuum, which it has. This isn't the last engine for this car. Frankly, I would have switched out...

Well, I'm happy to report that we got it all back together, fired it up, and broke the cam in for 20 minutes. It seems to be OK. It was late so I shut it down right after. So we'll see after work...

What are the risks in running it? Immediate failure or premature wear later? When we did get it running right it sounded the best it ever has.
Sorry about the typo in the cam. It is the Melling...

It's a Melling STP-1. Very tame, as we need the vacuum for power brakes, the AC controls and the factory Cruise Control. This car uses a lot of engine vacuum! I got it off of Rock Auto.

As you can imagine, the only place to go to have fun...

Yep, it was the timing alright. I guess that I wasn't good at trying to line up the #6 on the distributor. Then it was running like crap, so I tried to advance the distributor, only making things...

OK, I'm going to try to fix this up today. I'll update later. I'm thinking that I had the timing off one way or another. Nothing else makes sense.

Well, I really screwed this one up, and I can't figure out how or why. I took the timing cover off and confirmed that the dots were correct. In this case, the dot on the crank sprocket at 12:00 and...

Thanks, guys, I'll try rotating it 180*. With all of the farting around, do you think that I should coat the cam again with assembly lube? I coated everything pretty good before, but the engine was...
