...heads. I tried to order a cam from Hughes Engines and waited for months and the bottom line is that they do not have ANY hydraulic flat tappet cams in stock and have no idea when they will as they do not manufacture them, manufacturing is outsourced for these cams. Crower has a cam with...

If you opt to replace you cam, be sure to find an oil with a high ZDDP content. Older flat tappet cams need the extra additive to prevent excessive wear. Modern oils had the ZDDP content reduced to keep from trashing the catalyst. Most Diesel rated oils such as Valvoline 15-40 all fleet or...

I'm not aware of anyone reproducing the turn signal switches for the tilt columns - i think you're stuck paying NOS prices. Bummer. Nice Fuselage BTW. I call dibs if you want to sell. :)

...carb with throttle response and drivability IF tuned properly to your motor. If you're going thru the trouble to drop a new intake on it you might as well take a bit more and drop one of those howards rattler cams in to wake the car up! Then you will see the most from the intake/carb swap.

...just a little less ease than I cared for, due to the ferrules on these Moog extra-eccentric bushings. Be that as 'twas, I got it in, with the cams on their marks. I expect there will be a bit more positive camber on the tires when I put it back on the ground, though I pray not too much...

...write up, I will definitely refer to this page when I'm back home looking at cam cards and comparing by example. I figure as much that the cams are optimized for popular engines, there was a summit cam that had sold well with most of the purchasers using a 383. I figure if I stuck that boom...

...and up because different lifters. I read here if I go with the matching push rods I'll be ok. Is that 100%? Comp suggests these springs for the cam: COMP Cams Valve Springs 911-16 Stealth list their spring pretty close: Anyone care to help me choose I'm starting to get a bit...

Yes in distributor degrees the advance cams are marked as.

A while back I've been perusing the catalogue for a 260/260 cam but it's comp cams. And recently I've seen/heard comp cams had various cam failures. So I might consider Lunatic, voodoo cams.

...timing sets were single-bolt cam sprockets. The 3-bolt came on 440-6bbl and 426HRMI engines, from the factory. Of course, most aftermarket cams can be had either way, usually the HP (more HP than 383/335 or 440/375) modified engines. The extra bolts were probably there to better handle...

...usually where the "lumpy" sound comes from. BUT the longer overlap will help power over 3000rpms, as longer durations do to. By 1972, the OEM cams had a bit more duration and more overlap, with the overlap being an emissions issue as the longer duration was to help better-fill the cylinders...

...will wear a bit and polish themselves out that would be ok" but with all the problems I seen I am really scrutinizing everything. I called comp cams and sent some pictures but they had no definitive answer for me. they said if I can catch a nail then be worried or if I'm unsure try to get...

...design. They are almost twice as expensive, but I will go with them anyway. Further he told me, that he had too much trouble with flat tappet camshafts in the past few years. Apparently, the quality of flat tappet camshafts nosedived for a while now... Because of that, he does not offer to...

Just looked at the Oregon Cams website. Looks good! Another source for camshafts! CBODY67

Wondering when someone would mention that oil. I use VR1 10W-30 in all but the Polara which gets 20W-50. The four Fords all have rebuilt engines with under 20,000 miles while the Polara is not rebuilt yet at 77,000 miles. Filters are Motorcraft except the Ambassador which is Wix. Seems no cross...

What's stock compression on a '72? The '73 was about 8:1 I think. I had similar plans to bump that up with different pistons had I kept the car. Never researched cams to know what an "RV" type of grind does. Overall better breathing I guess...?

I will definitely be calling Hughes

If I may say. I stay away from the comp roller lifters, I had two bad sets out of the box. I went with the Hughes retro fit rollers, Howards is a good supplier as well. I have not had any problems with Howards so far. The 440 source heads are a good selection and as the name says they have a...

...9.0CR, which is in the good range these days. Probably a AVS2 and a 2.25" dual exhaust system would work well? Bad thing is, as to intakes, cams, and pistons . . . not a lot of choices, but something is better than nothing. Might check www.rockauto.com in this respect. Mainly to see what...
