I believe the HP was 210. The cam specs were 280/288 duration and .390/.410 inch lift. ILC was 112 degrees.

Thanks!! I have an oportunity to pick one up for 1400, but with no title, body is in great shape, interior in great shape, frame has some surface rust but is solid, just wondering about the title thing. I figure either way I can use it as a spare for my 75. What do you guys think??

Can you tell me a little more about that? I also have a 4-spd manual 77 -- and I'd like to know more about it.

It certainly is what I would consider "loud" in 1-3, but most of the "gear-ish" noise goes away in 4th.
