The 79'

The joys of shim's!

I reckon the 288 will have some nice power after 4200rpm!

Try & start with the cam pulley in a neutral position first. Then play around with it.

You'll notice a massive difference if you fully advance it & fully retard it!

I think I ran my 270 a couple of degrees retarded on the race track to help with top end power & top speed.

But on the street I ran it alittle bit advanced to help with low down torque with driving around in traffic etc.

Nice to meet your old man at the Jamboree too!

Had a good old chat.

Thanks for the comments Jarred and Tim.

Yeah, she make's pretty good power after 5000rpm right to 7000rpm.

We are going to play around later on. (:

Dad said pleasure to meet you. He told me everything about it. (:

Cheers,

Gordan.
