This is for all you "Falcon Six" gurus out there, or I'd take a suggestion from someone that knows more than me(That is a lot of people.). Back in the '70's we would use a Cloyes timing chain to advance the cam 4 degrees. This would raise the dynamic compression ratio slightly. I had seen on Classic Inlines site that the recommended doing the same to the Falcon Six. My problem is that I couldn't find a timing chain to do it with so I ended up getting a Mr. Gasket offset woodruf key. The key is offset 4 degrees but goes on the crank gear. That will leave my cam advanced 8 degrees. Will that raise my dynamic compression even more or will it be so far that I will lower it? I should give a little background. I have a stock 1969 200cid with stock bore & pistons. Stock camshaft. The head is also stock with 302 valve springs. I put a FelPro head gasket on it, so I lost a little compression there. I don't have a cam degree wheel and not sure I'd know how to use it if I did. Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to make it worse or turn it into a pile of scrap metal.
Thanks,
Jim
