Cam?
I just bought my 75 c3 ,I am having carburator issue?Quad.jet on there now from a 77 chey.Took me forever to find some one that can work on a carb.
Well the mechanic going to take a look at it and he ask me what type of cam is in it?Some one did change the Carburator,cam and (manifold--edelbrock),on the car but left the original block and heades in it .The number match.
How can i figure out what cam in it now with out pulling the motor? or let him figure it out ,Should i just replace the cam back to one thats for that motor?
Thanks

Timing issues often impersonate carb issues...so I'd be sure the timing is right before tearing into the carb.
I agree with Ben that I can't imagine why he'd need the cam info to tune - certainly if the cam has a bunch of overlap it's not going to give a smooth idle, but that's not really a tuning issue...?
