What should i set the Initial timing at on the Monte? Is a mild 383 .030 over with a 268h comp cam other then that its stock besides headers and roller rockers ect... Its a new HEI gm distributor
-
Most headers will fit a Monte carlo,Headers for Chevelles 1964-1977,Camaro 1967-1981,1970-1977 Nova/ChevyII and all full size B-body cars 1968-1979 some might have to be dinged to clear the steering shaft but they work

Now your talking but a well built 383 will keep up with mild big block and its way lighter but a all out big block is the way to go

383 set up is one of the best things you can do to your 350 to get the max power out of it, it don't get much better then a 383 in small block land

very nice sounding but yours is also a 383 so don't be expecting the same nice rumble with the same cam in a stock 350 and stock exhaust

For a mild street car you don't need a roller cam or roller rockers jest get a 268h comp cam or the 268xe its way better then stock and isn't to wild great street cam
