That is a myth. The reason and pure coincidence of the camshaft timing is the opening and closing points of the intake valves.
For example, ending up with an ICL of 112, and generally with a LSA of 112, I can still have crazy intake valve timing of say 54/90? ICL of 112, LSA of 112.
I have run Webers on IR manifolds, one choke per cylinder, with cams right down to 105, and still have near EFI drivability. That was a 40/70 intake timing.
Since the OP says his engine idles nicely now, the cam mustn't be too wild.
