Wolfcub, I'll give your thoughts a try and bring the timing to about 8 degrees BTDC, thank you. The vacuum gauge needle is rock solid, no bouncing at all.

I'm also ready to go back through my two Rochester BCs, although I can't see how they would not work now when they seemed fine when I started swapping cams.
