I've heard bad things about that cam company too but, that was years ago and about flat tappet cams. The one I wiped out was a Lunati cam and lifter kit. I'm thinking no more flat tappet cams for this dude

The last one I built for myself was the L30 305 in my 99 Tahoe. It was a Lunati camshaft with used, cleaned and home resurfaced, GM hardened foot lifters out of a TBI 350 crate engine that had low mileage when I swapped a roller cam into it. David Vizard details resurfacing those lifters in his budget small block book. Those lifters last practically forever.I've heard bad things about that cam company too but, that was years ago and about flat tappet cams. The one I wiped out was a Lunati cam and lifter kit.

Tequila (sometimes beer when it's not too bad) and Aleve (3 at a time) is my self-prescribed anesthesia regimen.Just smash some pain pills and get after it!
Yes and yes, many times. This is an OE Mr Goodwrench long block, damper and timing cover (made in Meheeco). If they were straight up, how would you be able to set timing when it's directly behind the water pump, it'd be pretty hard to see. It's easy to see timing marks from that angle.Are those the original damper and timing pointer? Have you verified that true TDC shows up as "0" degrees on the damper/pointer?
My timing marks were in the same place on the OE 1983 305, an OEM 92 TBI 350 and my Goodwrench 350 TBI I had in my G20 van. The Targetmaster 350 in the 80 C10 was also in that position. The only one I have seen higher up were a car L69 and L03.You must be registered for see images attach
I would have expected a TBI damper and timing pointer to be "straight up" instead of viewed by the PS pump. Are those the original damper and timing pointer? Have you verified that true TDC shows up as "0" degrees on the damper/pointer?
