cam issues and advice needed.
Had a lifter noise and I needed to replace the radiator so I thought I would pull the heads clean them up and see what is to be seen inside. I found a broken lifter and 2 more that had started coming apart, the clips that hold them together was gone. So now along with a new alternator, water pump, radiator, and some hoses I need a cam and lifters. this is not a hot rod nor do I want issues using the vacuum headlights. I drive this a lot.... like every day.
the motor as I know is stock, but there is a chrome timing cover so someone has been in that far. the heads and exhaust manifolds are stock. I was given a aluminum intake, edelbrock performer and a holly 650 for free. I have been doing research on cams and found a lot of info, like so much my head is spinning. but I think this is the cam for me? http://www.compperformancegroupstore...ory_Code=HFTXE

Yes, that cam sounds like a good match for your usage. I've used the Summit K1103 in the past with very good results. It's a very mild cam with a nice midrange. It will idle at 600 rpm if you want.
