Im having problems with my power accesories from my cam. I have a Comp Cams 279THF7 cam. It has a .479/.465 lift and adv duration is 279/297 and @.050 duration is 227/241..
It runs nice and strong at idle in park. As soon as I put it in gear its real choppy and the rpms drop a couple hundred. My vac is reading anywhere from 10.5-12 pounds of vac at idle. It doesnt really change in gear.
-I have checked everywhere for vac leaks with carb spray and found none.
-Tried timing from 6 to 16 initial and 36 all in. Im now at about 16 initial and its the best so far.
-Checked all lines & hoses and no problems.
-Carb is adjusted all around.
I also noticed with my power steering, when I turn the wheel some the idle drops a little.
I read around some and I think my cam is the culprit and is robbing me. Would a vacuum reservoir canister help me out or am I basically screwed?
T.I.A.
