Default Re: sbc cam info

I ran a 140 cam an never found it to be unstreetable. I ran mine straght up but recurved the distributor, and ran the vac advance to manifold vac. I know some guys swear by this cam 4 to 6 degrees advanced. I really didn't think the idle was that much lumpier than the 30/30. Instead of 900, I set it about 1000. No big deal to me.

I never had plug fouling problems with the 140.

4.10 gears and wide ratio muncie.

If I still had a 140 cam, I would not hesitate for a second to put use it in either a 302 or a 350 with 11:1 compression.

In fact, Bill, if you want to trade your used 140 for a used 30 30, I can do that, and would pay shipping for both.
