One is keyed, the other is not.

Me thinks you need a Helm manual.

:werd: the keyed one is the intake cam and it is keyed for your distributor.
 
if you cant figure this out how are you gonna install the cams?
do you own a torque wrench?
a manual is 40 bucks and the first tool you buy when you get a car
 
thanks guys, ok i see the keyd diference now, so im going to try to install them again tommorrow. i did a rael quick modification to make them long enough, they were like 1/4 in to smal for som wierd ass reason, but i thik got it now. thanks.
 
its not a "weird ass reason" that you can just shrug off and fix. if they dont fix, and you have the intake and exhaust cams in the right place, then they are most likely the wrong cams.
 
WTF :blink: you modified you cams???????? I have a feeling you will never get your engine runing right with the cams, do to that statement of yours.

Hi, and welcome to having a sense of humor..... :wave:
 
or you could put in a duct tape spacer.

i think you should send the cams back, and tell them they are the wrong ones, and get the right set.
