Good point, Joe. Especially if he "hadn't been there" yet with that combo.
BTW-- my cyls only cc-ed out 10.5 - 10.7 CR. Wimpy!

how about the volumetric efficiency simply
falling off at that rpm, like do you think your
induction system and cam shaft selection supports
rpm at the area where your power fell off?

think I'll bring the HEI with me. I get what feels like a little miss right
near the clocks. I'm not sure if it's ignition or if it's a little spitting
back through the carb.

ignition, so I pulled off all of my OEM 7mm wires, and popped on a set of
Accel 8mms that I had in the tool box. When I start it with the 8mm, it
acts like the timing is advanced a little from what it was with the 7mm
wires. Absolutely nothing else was changed, and I changed the wires one at
a time to be sure that there was no hanky panky with fireing order (which
I've been known to screw up before!). When I turn it over on the starter
with the ignition on, it grunts more, and tries to kick back just a little
bit. Go figure!
