Is the compression ratio too high for an otherwise stock setup on a '78 F2?
I'd be running stock coils, wires, and plugs; stock breaker plate with points/breakers ignition (well maintained of course - meaning sanded, cleaned, and regapped by dwell measurement every 2500 miles with the oil change); and a mostly stock head. The head has the CycleX valvespring and valve upgrade/replacement (part numbers RS-001 and VL-100 respectively). And I've installed a Web Cam camshaft with a .360 lift and 270deg duration.
I've decked the block and resurfaced the head to clean up warpage. From this I derived the cam and crank are .013" closer so I slotted the cam gear bolt holes accordingly to compensate at ~.008" on the bolt hole diameter and then advanced the cam roughly 4deg for a little more lower end grunt.
Whataya think? Wiseco 835cc kit at 10.25:1CR safe for a reliable runner with the above specifications?
