isn't that a 284º advertised duration camshaft? not the ideal match with a 34 PICT on paper, did it ever idle before or is this a new ocurrence

It had a set of twin 34 icts but there not jetted correctly and no regulator so were leaking fuel into the engine
But they did idle but bogged right down and wasn’t drivable
I will rebuild these at a later date but i need this car this weekend:/

Valves are good il change fuel pump and coil later and pull the inlet off to double check for air leaks
