i will check all of that when it warms up around here. i also have adjustable cam gears, but slowboy wouldnt use them because the marks were off, and i had to remark them myself, and they werent sure how close they were to stock, even tho i told them i put the stockers on, aligned them, took them right off and put the adjustables on, and the lines i made matched up, but no one listens to me anyways.

maybe ill just buy another set and put them on myself, but you say i have to overlap the gears to fix the vacuum, but how much would you say needs to be overlapped, or whatever? i remember the first time i did my timing before the tensioner came loose and bent my valves, the cams were slighty off, about half a tooth or less, and thats when the car ran perfectly, and i also remember reading about that on here somewhere, where with bigger cams, you need to offset the cam marks to adjust to the proper ignition timing and vacuum as well, so maybe i need to mess with the timing and increase or retard the cams a tiny bit to fix all that.
