He wasn't the same man in 85 that he was when he was building winning race engines back in the 50's~60's.
Kinda sad, but at least he was still trying to do his best at something he loved to do.

You know Clay, when I moved the timing gear on the cam to line up the chain I had the distributor still in. The rotor didn't move very much at all. Not a big move.
What did you do to fix the 455? Did you degree the cam to make sure it wasn't some sort of custom grind that made it work better with the marks not lined up?
