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.....

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.
