Compression 140-160 1971

I'm not impressed either...with the cam. I'd be happier if it idled smoothly, or didn't ping.

My options now are:

1. Rework "F" head for lower compression (off old engine)and fit (600 bucks?)
2. Replace cam with "D" grind or Singher design (any better?)

Or do both...

My only saving grace was I didn't skimp on block rebuild
