Steven,

There is allot of play in the cams. I never tried to look for any specs but
I have successfully shimmed the cam, like a H-D cam. I have valve spring
shims from either Chevy or Ford or both. I've had the things for years....
anyways I can usually get it shimmed out with using one of these shims. I
throw the shim at the rear of the cam, the shims are the prefect I.D. &
O.D., it usually at least sets the cam to where your not cringing. I don't
remember the thickness but it could get those specs for you if you wish. I
could even send you a couple if you wish, providing I have enough to spare.
Let me know if you are interested.

Kev

Nice ! I love it !

Hey Charley,

I'm working on a 71 ambo engine, the cam shaft is slopping back and
forth .075". I cant seem to tighten the shaft nut and remove the play.
I'm wondering if its the cam support flange ? Other than that the rest
if the insides are spotless ? I'm stuck !?!?

I've updated my site, adding a new Loop of the Month and posting a few
pics of the progress I made today. My buddy Dan came over and helped
install the engine & trans. into the frame! Hoping work will move much
faster now that I have the whole shop to myself and lots of clean, shiny

parts ready to go on. Cheers,

Charlie
