G Cam In, nearing end of mods, what shall I do?

[Scirocco-Al" <scirocco-Al@insight.rr.com (Scirocco-Al)]

I recurved my original by taking it apart and just removing the second
larger spring.  It's the one that has the longer connection loop on it.
Removing ot a;lows you to get max advance at a lower RPM.  It really worked
pretty well.  I would recommend doing that rather than spending the huge
amount of money on a euro distributor..

The car ran fine with no pinging with timing set to 12 BTDC.  The
compression was even a little higher than stock.  I say give it a try before
spending the cash.  I can give more detailed instructions if you are
interested.

well seems you and I have similar projects, I am about to do all that, and
was also considering the recurve distributor for my 2L hybrid.
maybe if there are more people on the list we could do a group purchase from
potterman..wonder how many it would take.

=>    The new G cam I picked up for Potter is in and running great.
=> Thanks to
=>everyone that helped me with the break in procedures.  A very important
=>lesson I read over and over and was reiterated by the list; keep
=>the bearing
=>caps in order and the same direction! Also Bentley and Greg
=>Raven's book was
=>a great asset.  Today I am going to heat it back up, check the clearances
=>again and install the G60 rubber gasket along with a G60 valve cover.
=>    Now here is my dilemma, I have worked from the exhaust back with mods,
=>TT stainless, Borla, TT down pipe, dual outlet manifold, G cam,
=>Fox  intake
=>and large TB, and now am at the end of my list.  I am almost done, what
=>shall I do next?
=>    I guess I will have to start on the suspension.  Maybe start
=>looking for
=>some springs, new mounts and poly bushings, disc brakes in the rear?
=>Again, thanks to everyone that has helped me along on these
=>projects.  Half
=>the fun is planning them.
