So I've gotten to the cam timing. I'm working on #1. According to Elgin, who reground my stock 3.2 cams to C2 spec, my target measurement at TDC is 1.29mm. I'm working with a dial gauge borrowed from Ted Robinson. It's in thousandths of inches. So my target in inches is 52 thousandths.

I've been bugging Ted all day, so maybe you guys can help me. I'm at a bit of an impasse because I can't move the pin any finer (choosing between two contiguous positions) and I'm getting either 48 thousandths (retarded) or 60 thousandths (advanced) in those two positions. Which one should I take? 48 is actually closer. Does that matter?

Bruce Anderson says that conventional wisdom is that people take the retarded route for high-end and the advanced route for low-end, but that in his experience neither have much effect. Any real world experience out there?

Thanks!
