Re: [AMC-list] question on this cam grind, specs

" From: tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>

" So I bought one of Doug Galvin's performance cams for the 195.6 OHV. I asked
" for specs (cam card) before I bought, he didn't have any one hand, but one
" would come in the box; he said it was basically an "RV" cam, more torque at
" 1000 rpm up at the expense of torque over 3500 rpm, not a bad tradeoff in
" this car. Thought I'd take a chance and look at the cam card when it came,
" seemed like a safe bet (I can return it unused).
" 
" []
" 
" new:     348 duration (I opens 64 btdc closes 105 abdc; E opens 105 closes
" 65) overlap 130 degrees (at .006 LIFT)

that can't be right; it sounds like top fuel numbers!  gotta be wrong
somewhere.

" The new cam doesn't seem right for an "RV" cam. All that overlap! That
" sounds like it will have no vacuum, and that duration seems pointless at low
" speeds, reversion and all that.

sure doesn't.
