Cam Timing

[upnatum]

Hi all,

I have a '76 Scorpion that I had the "brilliant" idea of upgrading to dual Webers. I found the full Alquati kit in Norway, installed it, had a few glitches but that was okay. I then added a performance intake cam from the Monte Hospital. This is apparently the same cam used by Guy Croft. All the paint marks are lined up perectly but there is a timing problem whereby the intake valves are opening a bit off and the exhaust is blowing back through the carbs.

Anyone have experience on this. Seems the timing on the intake cam need to be different but there is only one pin position on it.

Thanks in advance for any input!

Carl,

When you put the distributor back in did you set it up on #1 or #4? You may have it 180 deg off. It is supposed to be off of #4.
