cam?
What is the difference between a computer controlled camshaft and a non computer controlled camshaft? emissions?
For instance:
Comp cam 268H
dur@.050 218/218 lift .454/. 454
On the Summit website under technical it says:
This camshaft is for carburetor equipped vehicles only.
BUT, it says under application, 350 1967-96 :crazy:
Other brands with the same specs do not say anything about for carburetor vehicles only :confused:
Right now I'm in the reasearch stage of my rebuild and trying to get as much info. as I can.
Thanks,

Re: cam? (snydcat)
Most computer cams have more center line then the carb, I think the computer cam are from 112 to 117 some go down to 110.
The carb cams are from 106 and up I think most are 108 to 110.

Re: cam? (MrJay)
Can a non computer cam with the exact same dur@.050, lift and lobe separation as a computer cam be used in my 85? That's what I'm trying to find out :confused:

Re: cam? (snydcat)
I would say yes, but tuning can become difficult with tight lobe seperation angles. Idle would probably be the hardest thing to tune if the lsa was much closer that 110-112 degrees. Good luck.
