Thanks for the Powell machine recomendation.

Where would a person find the specs for the factory cam?

I have gone through the GM heritage site and my 1958 pasenger car shop manual qith 59-60 update.

This is what I have found.

Valve lift int/ex = .3275

Intake Timing
open 16 °BTC
close 48° ABC

Exhaust Timing
open 46° 30` BBC
close 17° 30` ATC

as well as journal sizes.

Couple more questions.
From the intake timing numbers, do the show both intake and exhaust being open together from 46° 30` to 48° ?

I know this 17° is 17 degrees. What is this 30`?


Thank you.
