Guys

I really need your help regarding Cam shafts
I have a A14 engine with performance manifold and 36 dcd weber, Will a 272cam be to big, And if so Will A 1200 GX cam run better then my stock Cam ?

Thanks

Okay, I changed my 36/36 dcd 7, for a 32/36 dgav. Problem Solved Kind-of. Guess it was vacuum leakage. So in theory the cam with the carb and manifold won't do ALL that ?

Okay great. I think i should start Checking for Vacuum leaks and diffrent Choke Size's, But this Can't be because the cam's timing is out with a Tooth or 2 on the Pully Gear ?

Haha, okay, in south-africa we talk diffrently.
Cable.T i know. But i'l only be able 2 give it on wednesday . Guess work... i Can ask you though : Should a Mild cam kill one's Idle'ing ? The Engine starts to idle fine at 900 rpm. And then It sounds like its flooding it'selt till it spits and flutters to 'death'

Al right The Goal was to get a 1400 to have nice street performance, but it still needs to beable to drive me to class and holiday's. So I asked around and a Guy here building Datsun/Nissan Told me to Get myself a Weber 36/36 dcd 7, a Maus Performance Intake and He will cut me A nice mild/lumpy Cam. Now the Cam is installed and I'ts not like Expected. I don't mind the Off-cam at Robots But when I give it gass it pulls but my second stage just doesn't cut it.


Beside's that the guys that 'know' of these things told me to put the Cam pully timing mark on the Crank puly/gear Timing mark. We did and then, some ppl told me thats only for the STD cam. So what to do ?

Can i post you picture? or just try to get the exact cam Spec ?

Hey, ya the Cam pulley timing mark and the Crank timing mark did line up fine. And I'm From Pretoria SA. So Should i Get a 4 to 1 Branch Fitted or an Other intake for the time being? I'l have the Cam Spec by this afternoon.
