Update on this car: He has put a couple hundred miles on it... everything flawless...
until...
He was driving down 280 last week and started to get a popping and misfiring. All gauges were fine so he coasted it to a stop. After hauling it to a friend's shop, they found it severly out of time for some reason. Pulled the distributor and found that it had chewed the gear off the cam! The distributor gear was fine...which is unusual becasue it is usually the sacrificial piece here... Not sure if it had to do with an oil pump problem or incompatible gear hardness yet... Hasn't been pulled apart to see the real extent of the damage either. He is not happy to say the least. It will be down for a little while.
