Great info here guys thanks! I understand some of you not thinking I should waste money on this smogger. I don't have the #'s anymore but I did a compression and cylinder leak down a couple of yours ago. Which is a couple thousand miles ago. All cylinders were even and compression was pretty high for what it is. I have NEVER seen even a puff of smoke out of this thing either.
I went ahead and got the 2800 cam and lifter set from Summit as well as a new t-stat, gaskets, plugs etc. I found a Cloyes timing set for $19 on Amazon. If all goes well I am going to drive it a while like this. It gives me time to replace some wiring and clean up some clutter in the engine bay. I am also going to do some revisions to the factory a/c system. Basically have a driver while I am putting together a nicer engine as I can on the side.
I am just so glad to drive it I don't care how fast it is. I thought I would never finish brakes and suspension stuff.
