I have an Isky Model: 301444 cam in my 312. I’m wondering if anyone out there might have one and if so what your timing is set at. Also Isky recommended a hot valve lash of .015. I assume that would translate to .016 cold, am I correct?

I have an Isky 301333 cam in my Y-Block.  It's slightly hotter than the 301444. When I degreed my cam, it was spot on so I installed it straight up.  I set my lash according to the Isky specs, which in my case is .020" hot.  If I were you, I would start at .018" cold and readjust to .015" with the engine at operating temperature.   I set my timing at 36 degrees total and run premium unleaded gas.  Isky has many years of Y-Block experience..  Their cams and components are top quality. 

Phil, did you receive my pm regarding banjo steering wheel? Although message sent was confirmed, I've not had much luck with pm and email.

I'm sorry, I didn't notice it.  I replied to your message.

Hi Ted, is the 0.019 lash on your E-4 the cold setting, and thank you so much for your help.
