cam timing

[Anonymous]

im in the process of rebuilding a 200 cid... BUT... i dont have ne books.. i need a diagram of the cam timing .. if possible.. i dont know what year the engine is either because the car its in is a 1960 ranchero.. and apperently they didnt make the 200 then.. i know that it had 3 waterpump bolts, so from what iv gathered, its 80's... ne help???

Howdy Joe:

We need more information to be able to help you. Look for the casting numbers on the manifold side of the block. Other clues would be number of frost plugs on the manifold side, dished or flat-topped pistons. Stock cam or?

Are you "degreeing" the cam?

Most aftermarket cam grinders supply a timing ticket or chart with their cam. Is this a new cam?

Adios, David

well.. i know that the cam is .10 over (i think i got that right)... as for numbers.. i dont know which ones you need.. it has 5 freeze plugs.. and the starter is pretty low mounting.
