Reply to "Weber carbs - owners speak out"

The overlap on that one is 48. It's ok, it will work. The fuel plume from the intake is basically from running flat out likw on a track like Pocono. When you pull in from a hard run it is possible to have accumulated atomized fuel in the engine compartment ( a fuel fog). I would just recommend that you park it where it doesn't immediately have to be moved. The spark would come from the ignition firing through the carburetor. You are probably more at risk if you run air cleaners and you can't see the build up.
You aren't at great risk with that cam. I'm running a lot more overlap then that at the moment. I don't think I'm going to change mine anytime soon.
Inglese would just recommend thier cam to you. It's by Cam Techneques. I've got the specs some where. It's something like .586 lift, 256 duration and 28 overlap. I didn't especially like it. I didn't think it pulled well at all at high rpm. I didn't like the sound of the exhaust (the frequency) either. It was too low and droned.
The exhaust should have a kind of whine/scream to it (higher pitch). That indicates that you are getting scavenging from the exhaust. Especially with the 180 bundle of snakes headers. The cam creates that.
There is probably already a good profile in the Crane Cams archives.
I personally am not to concerned with a cam change at the moment. Mine is at 72 overlap with 246 duration and .520 lift solid now.
I ran this set up before with the Iron heads before I "knew better" with no problems with no screens or air cleaners.
It made the stacks whistle from a distance. The whistle was lounder then the exhaust.
Run what you have.
Also, don't try to install the engine into the Pantera with the induction on. Put the engine in then drop the induction in.
Have fun.
