Going to pull the camshaft out and have it reground according to Bigblock V6 (Pete) specs. Also, new lifters.

Need to wait a bit before I can get the cam ground, but in the meanwhile, I can finish most of the tasks that still need doing:

Remove the camshaft
Exhaust downpipes welding. Bought an air-fuel meter to install.
Propane mixer adapter
New battery cables
Leaking rear axle seal
All sorts of odd jobs that need to be done

Keeps one busy.

Traced the slow starting to the starter itself. Have to look it over. Seems like the new brushes aren't seating properly. When the switched them for the old brushes, it cranked over just fine.
