I have a NOS 261 cam that has a label on the box that says that it is for a 261 with hydraulic lifters and a Powerglide transmission. I picked it up at a swap meet. I thought it was odd thinking that the 261 was only available in larger trucks in the USA and I doubted if any of those came with Powerglides. Must have been made for a Canadian 261? I know some of the Chevy cars in the USA with 235's and Powerglides had hydraulic lifters, so since the 261's in Canada were in Pontiacs, maybe the hydraulic lifters were for the same reason?
If anyone needs a hydraulic lifter 261cam, send me a PM. I've only seen solid lifter ones available through the various parts suppliers. I won't be using it.
