Cam Problems
I'm having problems with my 260° cam. Tired of messing with it. Going back to a stock cam.
Can you guys guide me to a quality brand stock cam and lifters?
Thanks a bunch, guys.,...jack

Enginetech ES818 and Melling SYB38 look like stock replacements. Both on Rock Auto for $50/$70 bucks.
