Cliff R. has a great suggestion. Also, the UD 221/230 that I run is a great cam in a medium compression motor.

I'll add another opinion...all you need is a factory cast iron intake with your combo. Why spend the money for an Edelbrock RPM if you don't need it?? Hard to beat the Pontiac cast iron manifold...

I agree with Warped...If you were running a 400, the cam would be perfect but it is a little much for a mild 326 combo. When it comes to camshafts, very often smaller is better. Overcamming an...

I would resist the temptation to overcam this engine and stay inside 220 duration for a daily driver. Both Crower and UD make cams with durations in the 215 range that would be perfect. Stock rods...

Assuming you have the factory bottleneck studs, simply torque to 20 and forget it. Are you sure you got the right pushrods?? With a non-adjustable valvetrain it doesn't take too much variation from...

You need a 1000 CCA battery on the 455's along with a quality starter. Forget the Autozone junk and try NAPA starters. I've never seen a Pontiac, even with headers, that wouldn't start with the...

BTW, I am running an L88 type convertor which gives me a few hundred RPM additional stall speed and it works great. My combo is a little different from yours, but not by a huge amount. I run the UD...

I really think you need to make sure your combo is optimized before you go spending money on things like gears. Verify that you don't have a vacuum leak. Check out the distributor curve, automatics...

Kelly, first things first. 10 inches of vacuum is way too low with that cam. I run 13.5 with my UD 221/230. I suspect a vacuum leak which could be contributing to your problem. Even with your...
