hey Ron, just talked to the car owner last weekend about the build of the motor. sounds like it's a pretty mild engine. pretty much a stock 8ba with a "mild" cam that he couldn't name. has 59a style offy heads and a regular dual intake with two 97's. fired it up after sitting and as soon as it got fuel it ran good. He didn't have a timing light and mine is a dial back with a suspect dial so I'm waiting to see where it's currently timed at. last time the car ran on the track they had overheating issues which I'm thinking was related to the mallory unilite distributor it had. hoping to time it so we don't have this issue going forward.
