Oh yea....I did figure out the vacuum advance does work.
I think I'm going to pull the cam out and replace it. My Cutlass is in the World of Wheels show this weekend so I guess I will get started on it next week.
I'm still not sure if I will use the new "stock" cam that I have or if I should try to find a mild street performance cam from Crane or Edelbrock.
I remember reading somewhere that the small block Olds like a "single" profile cam....any truth to that? This is my first Oldmobile and I'm still learning.
Anyone have a reccomendation?
THANKS FOR EVERYONES HELP!
By the way here's a pic of my baby:  |
Yep, mild street performance would be OK. Just a tick or two over the stock cam will give you decent results.
I love your 66. My dad has a 66 442 that I hope to possibly inherit one day.
Are you staying with the non-stock SSII rims or are you searching for some SSI's?? And just for asthetics...you should consider loosing the white walls!!
