I already removed the two screws that hold on the thrust plate and the camshaft slides out about 1/2 inch, then stops. It's hitting something, but I don't know what. What should I be looking for, or what did I forget to remove?
Thanks for your help

You may have to remove the distributor also. If it were me I would do this anyway because you will have to time it after the new cam is put in.

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!

One of the crank counterbalances won't clear the cam journal unless everything is just right.
