BTW, as to why a different cam. When you quickly put a load on the engine, like dropping it into gear (or engaging the clutch with a manual), the vacuum can drop off quickly causing the vacuum advance unit to retract. That can lead to lost idle rpm and idle strength causing the engine to stall, sputter, or die.
