I had mine ground by Isky about 4 years ago and just got the car back on th=
e road. I'm very happy with the performance and tractability of the engine.

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.

OK folks, I know the setting for valve clearances on a 100 is 0.012, but wh=
en a hotter cam gets put in to a 100 with larger carbs and different piston=
s, does it stay 0.012? I am going to check all of the clearances on the set=
 up as it sits now before I do any adjusting of anything, but thought I wou=
ld run this by everyone before I touch or move anything. Thanks in advance.
   And 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 down 12 flats each, so =
I've now got a base line to work with. I am re-installing the alternator co=
nversion that was Mickey Moused into position with the Moss/AH Spares kit, =
which is quite nice nice and then I also just got a Snap On timing light so=
 I can set the advance accurately. It's coming along, slowly, but that's ok=
ay, I'm in no big hurry, I just want it right as I plan on driving the whee=
ls off of this car.
   Thanks again for any information you might pass along!
