It is a carbed motor, I checked the tdc mark on the damper, it is true.The head was trued up about .010, I assume that would retard the cam timing slightly, I have the cam card from Comp giving the specs but no instruction.I have the how to modify your datsun book witch gives instruction on degreeing a cam it is a little vauge but I think I can do it. Just wondering if the cam is retarded will alot of ignition timing smooth it out at idel?
