Are 360 cams factory retarded?
Hey guys, as the title states, are 360 factory cams retarded? My wife got me a gasket set and a timing set as it jumped time 2 years ago and has sat since. So for right now the motor isn't coming out, just gonna do an in frame to kinda freshen it up, to get it back in a running state so time can be spent elsewhere like floor pans. Anyways i have the edelbrock 7808 with 3 keyways (4retarded, stock, 4advanced). Some of my research says to advance it as i'd rather have low rpm torque rather than high rpm h.p. I know i should swap out the cam or make it a 390 but that ain't the goal for now. It does already have edelbrock intake and a quadrajet on top and i'm hopeing i can squeeze a set of headers into this job. What's yalls input?

Update: yesterday pulled the fan and radiator, today pulled the fuel pump, alternator, and water pump. Then i pulled rhe valve covers...driver side looked fine, passenger side not so much. The rocker shaft broke on the front side of the second pedestal. The front pexestal bolt was out and not broke. I'm thinking front bolt backed out putting too much pressure on the shaft at the next pedestal causing it to snap.
