Default need help with cams fast!

hey fellow luders, sorry this is urgent because the car needs to be running by tomorrow, but i purchased new crower stage 1 camshaft for my h22a4 prelude. Now ordinarily you would think this would be easy but ive hit a halt. Now for my car the distributor is hooked up to the exhaust camshaft. now the new crower cams have the distributor notch on the intake labeld cam do i simply install the distributor on the intake? or put the intake labeld cam in the exhaust side? ive tried calling crower all day but i only get there answering machine anyways help is appreciated guys- thanks

If you need the car by tomorrow, just put back on th old cams until you can confirm with crower.

Better off uninstalled, than broke, and ****ed up

Sounds like you have the wrong cams. I wouldnt even attempt to install them. You cant just switch the dizzy to the intake cam either, something isnt right.

That was your 1st mistake......
I would return them immediately and just get a Skunk2 cam.....It will actually make power!

Call Crower, if not. put your old cams back in until you can confirm. Are the cams labeled wrong intake vs exhaust? Or are the cams labeled with the wrong part number altogether? Either way something is wrong and I wouldn't chance it.
