272, 276 cams

[CS_Rally]

Tess,

I have a 272 installed in a modified NF code engine that I'm about to go
through inspection and I'm also curious to see the results.
As Jim's car, mine is not exactly a standard NA car, but it might be close
to your case. BTW, I'm running 30 degrees of advance with no idle control.
I also have collecting dust in my garage a 276 that I plan to install after
the smog test.
I hope I don't have to put back the OE cam in order to pass.

I can let you know the results after the test.

Later,

Carlos.
