Ed Iskedarian cut the cam on my car 45 years ago. He called it a hot street
cam. I lost the info about it years ago.

<div>OK folks, I know the setting for valve clearances on a 100 is 0.012, b=
ut when a hotter cam gets put in to a 100 with larger carbs and different p=
istons, does it stay 0.012? I am going to check all of the clearances on th=
e set up as it sits now before I
 do any adjusting of anything, but thought I would run this by everyone bef=
ore I touch or move anything. Thanks in advance.</div>
<div>=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0And just as an update, I got the OA6 Rich needles in=
 now, I brought both jets up in the carbs evenly and then let them back dow=
n 12 flats each, so I&#39;ve now got a base line to work with. I am re-inst=
alling the alternator conversion that was Mickey Moused
 into position with the Moss/AH Spares kit, which is quite nice nice and th=
en I also just got a Snap On timing light so I can set the advance accurate=
ly. It&#39;s coming along, slowly, but that&#39;s okay, I&#39;m in no big h=
urry, I just want it right as I plan on driving
 the wheels off of this car.</div>
