DeuceCoup: Thanks. I did just what you suggested and everything went together fine. I installed the new cam, got it started, timed it, broke it in as per instructions, and am now ready for the track this weekend. I didn't degree-in the cam--just don't have the tools to do it. It's difficult enough removing and installing the cam while the engine is in the car and doing it outside my single-car garage. Thankfully, weather was great. JRJ
