Valve adjustment for roller cam

[Garbageman]

Hi fellows and gals, I have installed an Isky solid roller cam in my 409. I have run solid cams before and have adjusted the valves using Curt Harvey's method of, exhaust valve starts to open adjust the intake valve and when the intake valve starts to close adjust the exhaust valve. I was wondering if I just do the same with the new roller cam. I know the new cam has quicker ramps but wouldn't think that should make a difference in adjusting procedure but thought I better ask. Thanks

Hi Paul have you had your car out this year with the freshened motor? Pat

I took it out last Sunday. It ran 11.67 pretty consistently and my 60 ft times dropped from mid 1.70s to mid 1.60s. The car should get stronger as it gets broke in, clutch adjusted more and carbs tuned for new combination.
