Sounds awesome Ken. I'm really glad I ordered that cam.
Love your Nova. Fantastic color.

Re: 143 Blueprint Cam Install
 

Forgot to mention that I used the Joe Gibb break-in oil along with the supplied lube on the cam......I set the valves with the Intake off and brought the engine to TDC...before putting the Intake back on I spread the rest of the Cam lube on the Lobes thru the opening in the lifter valley....That way I didn't have to turn the engine over at all before starting , this kept the Maximum lube at the point of contact at start-up....Back filled the Carb thru the Vent tube also.....It started after about a half a revolution and took it right up to 3000..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 143 Blueprint Cam Install
 

Ken...What cam was in it before the change?

Re: 143 Blueprint Cam Install
 

What exactly is the difference between this cam and the original L78 piece. I picked up one of these cams a couple of years ago but haven't used it yet. I've had a couple L78 cars and rode in quite a few back in the day. In stock form, none of them were all that impressive. Perhaps this cam is just what our car needs. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
