Hey all,

A friend and I are going to put a more aggressive cam in my 67 this winter! Right now my specs are,

350 Bored 030 over
HEI Ignition
Edelbrock RPM
Edelbrock carb (600) Electric choke
202 dart heads
Kieth Black signiture series pistons
1.5 Roller Rockers
Very mild cam
th350 with shift kit
the motor has been ballanced and blueprinted.

I want to have my engine sound like it has a bigger cam, however I don't want it to be so agressive that I lose vacumme at stop signs. I have searched the archives and can't find what I'm looking for graemlins/clonk.gif

Thank you for your help graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I'm not sure what my compression is! I was told if you have too big of a cam with an auto, you will loose vaccum. I believe the stall is what came from the factory, I have 373's. I don't know if it matters, I have discs up front and drums on the back. That's why i mentioned the vaccum. How do I have my compression checked? (can't tell I'm new at this can ya!!!!!)

Sorry for the rambling!

Thanks for your help
