Wow! I'm sure the new cam old dist. gear combo has been done thousands of times with good results. I guess you got the short straw this time. I better look at mine, although the gear looked new to the eye and it's a G.M. cam. Hope you get it sorted out. Good thing you baby proofed the garage with the new floor coating.

I've found a lot of anecdotal evidence online of the same problem I had. It's not uncommon in the least bit. Since you changed the your cam, I would recommend pulling the dizzy and checking the drive gear. A new GM gear is around $45-50. Better to have the piece of mind. From what I've read, too, guys "in the know" always change the gear whenever they change their cam. Something to consider.

It's on my agenda. I do have my drain oil tested, nothing abnormal, so that's a good sign.
