Hey guys, I need to figure out what cam I got so I am not wasting my $$ on the wrong valve springs. So if anyone has them I would like to borrow a degree wheel and dial indicator. I want to have this piggy back on the road so would like to order/buy the springs asap.
Thanks for any help guys.

are you doing this with heads on or off?

PS. WHy don't you just put the cam straight up? unless you're planning on going perfect & choosing your own degree of advance/retard?

You don't need a degree wheel to figure out what springs you need man, what are you talkinga bout? all degree wheel will tell as far as cam goes is duration of the damb thing not lift. just use a vernier to measure your cam lobe lift & multiply it by your rocker ratio.

 

PS. whats the size of your base circle?

 

So in other words, You dont have a dial indicator/degree wheel right Bunker? . Actually, have you ever heard of a thing called valvetrain harmonics? Im trying to avoid that. Also eyeballing it with a verneer is not nearly precise enough for me to get the best performance out of the valvetrain. Also I need to know exactly what this cam is so that I can plan the next one.
