Thread: wiped lobes, new cam

Riley, as far as the soft brakes, any cam that is more than stock will require more initial ignition timing. Zero your damper inertia ring and timing pointer with this tutorial....

then put 12-14 degrees of ignition lead in at the crank, although some fellows say they use up to 20 degrees at the crank on FE motors. You will have to reduce the amount of centrifugal advance so that you don't exceed the max timing for the motor (probably around 40 degrees total, initial and centrifugal).

If the motor kicks back against the starter with more ignition timing, cut the hot wire to the coil and install a momentary-off switch that can be mounted on or under the dash. Push the momentary-off switch with your left hand while you key the starter with your right hand. Without any juice to the plugs, the motor will wind up easily. Once the crank is spinning, let go of both switches and the motor will be idling.
