GMCNet,
When I rebuilt engine (455) I installed a Melling MTO-1 high torque cam and cloyes double roller timing chain with adjustable (3 position) keyway. I installed the cam "straight up" with the alignment marks. The engine runs well, good vacuum (19" at idle, 16" in gear) and I've been averaging just about 8 mpg...with my 3.70:1 FD

I plan on replacing my radiator soon, what , if any are the advantages to advancing the cam timing (while I have the radiator out(more room))
