Ok so I had it parked for the winter but its almost time to get it out again, because i cant find any info or get any info from any of the suppliers about the distributor curves I think im just gonna order a new distributor. I did a little searching on here and on other sites but haven't made up...

Ya I thought it was the pertronix but after messing with it i realized it wasn't. The previous owner had put it in so i dont have the manual or anything. I cant even find a brand name or anything on it. Ya I will drive it around and see if it pings or not. I just thought 40 would be way to high.

I also tried taking the screws out of vacuum can.

I pulled the rotor off and there was a screw and snap ring under it. But the guts still wouldn't come out.

Ok so I got the cam broke in and new exhaust on it, I have the timing set 12 degrees at idle but it's at 40 degrees at 3000 rpm. So I need to adjust the advance down to about 36 degrees right? How do I go about doing that in this distributor? I tried playing around with it but no luck.

Ok so I went and bought a new timing light, Its the Innova 5568 pro timing light, local tool store was going out of buisness and they had one on sale for $40 brand new in the box. So this new timing light should have the ability to check the all-in-timing, I think. The timing light has a tach...

So I should set it around 12 - 14 BTDC then do the break in cycle, then go drive it and adjust it by ear?

Where do you guys think I should be at for timing for this camshaft? I have read anywhere between 10-15 BTDC, does this sound right? Its the XE268H

Ok now that I have the cam figured out, I have some exhaust questions. I wanna change the exhaust because it hangs down to low and the previous owner had someone do it for him and none of it was done right. They used 3" into flow masters and then dumped it right before the rear axle, and they...

I did see the notes, that's why I was concerned. That's when I started searching about that camshaft on the forum. Comp recommends their 924-16 valve springs which will require machine work, guys on here were telling people who had the same questions as me to use the 911-16 springs because they...

They are just the stock springs on them, the motor has never been into other that changing the intake, dis, and carb. I will get casting numbers off the heads when I get a chance to open them up. So Im thinking maybe the XE268H would be a decent one? Then I was doing some more research and I...

Thanks for the help guys, I thinking about going with the 270H, 268H or the XE268H now. I seen that CBARGE said I will need valve springs with the 270H. What about the 268's? I would rather not change the valve springs now if im gonna go to different heads in the future. I was thinking some kind...

Im new on here, so I have been searching and searching looking for a good camshaft that I would like. I think I might have it narrowed down to two. Either the XE275HL, I have been reading a lot about that one, and comp cams recommended the PP280H. Which one would you guys think? Its going in a...

New to the forum, This is the only picture I currently have of my 1968 300.

This is the only picture that I have on my phone. I'll have to get more later.
