When the engine was rebuilt, this was the closest cam to original specs that could be found according to Total Engine in Bloomington, MN. Can't be all bad as in stock configuration other than a bore increase, distributor recurve and carb magic by Eric it produced 475 horse and 483 ft lbs of torque. I called them and asked them about these settings. He suggested warming the engine and checking all the clearances the way they were set currently. Make sure they are all consistant with each other and none were way off which could point to a lobe issue. He also suggested setting them at .012-015 saying that you will increase low end power at .015 but lose some on the top end. I am not sure it really matters on this engine as it is not driven much anyway.
