I promise you, you?re no more surprised than I am!! I figured that the required length would be shorter, given that I?m using the roller lifters I got from you. I suspect that the base circle on the camshaft is smaller than stock, although I don?t have a stock one to compare it with.
I?m using a fully preped single point distributor. I had a local machinist friend set it up for me. He has one of the SUN distributor machines and does many of the distributors for the local racers. We put new bushings in it and redid the weights, springs, and vacuum advance. You sent me a new gear for it when I bought the lifters.
It?s been a tough stretch with the health issues. This is good therapy! I spent a lot of time sitting around, searching for all the little things that you end up scrambling around for at the last minute to get a build like this completed. I?d bet a whole betcha? that there?s STILL something that I?ll not have when the time comes for it!!
