They only took off about .008 from the heads, just to make them perfectly flat. The car seems to like the 068 cam. It idles pretty smooth but has much more power than the prior cam which was some Crane torque cam I put in back in 1994.

Today I replaced the 30 amp plastic fuse holder with a heavier duty one that uses a modern fuse. It is long enough to hide out of sight. Those original plastic inline fuse holders are a terrible design for high amperage fuses because as the amperage goes up, so does the heat...the heat then softens the plastic and the internal spring then pushes the metal contacts away from the fuse, until they don't make electrical contact any more...and you lose high speed on the fan.
