Red1990LX Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 My girlfriends father is going to be doing a H/C/I combo on his 1979 Vette... Do you need to index the cam? He is going to get the H/C/I Power Pack from Jegs. I am just curious if cam indexing is truely needed... Thanks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 The kit should come with a cam card that explains everything about the cam. It should also state where the cam likes to be set. Depending on its size alot of the ones from kits usually seem to want to be set at 2-4 degrees advanced I believe. I could be wrong but the cam card will explain. You could always just line up the dots and it will probably run but not half as well as it would in spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98fiveseven1647545503 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 if the card said so, and it is always a good idea to dial in the most important part of the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 follow the cam card and always check with a degree wheel the little dot on the timing set isn't always stamped in the right place..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
