i have an 1981 camaro with a new 355.i have the stock old distributor in it. it has a little surge to the idle (it will idle at a good RPM, then it will idle to a lower RPM). i have tryed adjusting with the timing, i was gettin inconsistent spark to some cylinders and weak spark to some. i was wondering if maybe i am a few teeth off on the cam?. i have new coil. wires. cap. and rotor. and it still does this. it's hard to get it to rev up when u just stick it hard. but it u ease it down not as hard it will rev really good. i adjusted it to the same spot on the intake. but i think i am a tooth or two off on the cam shaft. any real clues to indicate this to me? or should i just go and buy a whole new distributor? thanks for your help, Matt Jarrett
