Thanks firstgenaddict

I've tried a different know good coil and had about the same results as with the coil that was on the car.

I did cold lash the valves. But...since I bought the car with the engine in it, I don't have any cam specs. So I set the lash at .024 I and .026 E.

Let me say that I had a 427 years ago with a cam going bad. If I drove the car 5 or 6 miles the valve lifters were not clicking - they were clacking.

I am just having a little clicking with this engine/cam - so if it is going bad, it is just starting. Thought I might drain the oil and see if there is anything.

Since I have tried a different distributor and now a coil - I may try a different carburetor to see if I can find where the power is.

Thanks for all the help
