Just wanted to say thanks for the help and let you know that it's running great!
I'm a little embarassed, but for the sake of completeness, I'll explain what it was.
When the head was sent out for a fresh valve job/ stem seals, etc... Our machinest gave us the head back and explained that we still needed to torque the cams, as the hydraulic lifters was pumped up from being out of the head while he worked on it, and since he didn't want the valves to hang open and get bent on the way home, he just set the cams in and threaded the bolts a few turns to hold evcerything together.
So when it was assembly time, we torqued the cam caps, and neglected to notice that our machinest set the cams in the wrong spots! My wisdom I can pass to the board is that the exhaust cam has a slit in it to drive the distributor, even if the car has no distributor. Otherwise, the cams look identical.
Oddly enough, the car didn't seem to want to fire trying to suck air in through the exhaust manifold and spraying fuel out the throttle body. At any rate, you live and you learn. Thanks so much for this discussion board and all of your help.
I now have an extra DIC and CPS, if anyone needs one ;)
Until next time,
-Jake
