Curious where others have the harness passing through the firewall with a terminator X (or any other ecu) in a 68-70 b body. My car has the factor heater box, 4 speed and the engine/dash/heater box is already installed so access is a bit tight for drilling holes. The hole for the ramcharger...
I’ve checked several stealths for chamber volume…….and 82-83 is what I often see after cutting the seats.
If there are no shims under the cups, and the mic is correct, that’s pretty far from spec imo, and I’d address it……somehow.
In early 2020, I called what I thought was Racer Brown to spec a cam for a 383. I told the guy on the phone that I was worried about the risk of cam failures. The man said that he never heard of a cam or lifters going bad. He lost all credibility from there. This same line is spoken by others...
Thanks for the advice. I did not provide the shop any different retainers or locks so presumably they were reassembled using the same ones delivered by 440 Source - they certainly look what came on them. I wish I had taken baseline measurements before any work was performed so I'd know how...

Obviously, not every flat tappet cam install ends up in failure.
It just seems to be a riskier endeavor than it once was.
For the reasons brought up already.
Sounds like the 5th time was the charm.
Ok everyone you’ve given me plenty to think about and quite a few task to get done. I will get busy on this and get the heads coming probably just order without springs so I can get the one that match the cam when I cross that road. And as always thanks a ton for all of your wisdom I really...
