Cam Timing question for the experts on Isky 1007B

[GOSFAST]

Very few cams are "dead-on" when installed simply based on the cam/crank gear marks. There's a whole bunch of reasons that it may be off, not necessarily the grinders fault.

For future builds here talk with your machinist about having the cam gear and cam set up to be able to move it fairly easily by "pinning" the cam, same setup as a SB/BB Chevy. We do them here fairly often!

On a side note we haven't had a single Isky problem, we stay with them or Comp Cams nowadays. I would trust some of the cam guys up here also.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Here's 2 shots of a finished cam snout/timing gear pinned and able to be moved a fair amount IF necessary! Uses conventional Chevy bushings, these are always readily available.
