If that's the case then you don't have something right. You could have the distributor 180º out or the dist. is firing before the intake valves are closed, or the rockers are down too deep keeping the intake valves open, or the cam was installed wrong, or who knows what else is happening. Start from the beginning again making sure that the cam and crank are correctly set up. You probably just have it firing much too advanced but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Don't forget the firing order, and direction of rotation. Charles
