It now appears that the ol' 350 had a vacuum leak, judging by what you guys
are saying.  I always suspected that (due to some odd differences in the
left and right BLMs), but I could never find it.

Regardless, the ZZ3 is a nice daily-driver cam, especially for those with
steep rear-end gears and tight convertors..  Given the usage of my SS, the
HOT cam probably would have been a better choice, but I didn't have the
gears or convertor for it at that time (yep, another case of doing mods in
the incorrect order).
