Michael:

The cam was ground specifically for this engine and this application. I have spoken to the cam guy and he assures me that it is okay. A race engine builder that specializes in BB Fords also agrees that the cam looks okay. By the symptoms, he agrees that it sounds like a very low compression ratio. Can't be sure without tearing down the engine. Don't want to do it until fall. Let you know then. Thanks again for the suggestions. I'll keep thinking and checking.
