Cams for 318's

Basic 273 cam specs: solids

1965 180 hp 2 barrel .395 /.405 lift 240°/ 240° duration
1965 235 hp 4 barrel .415 /.425 lift 248°/ 248° duration
1966 235 hp 4 barrel .420 /.430 lift 248°/ 248° duration

note -you can go to the Victory Library link above and look at Some of the DC/MP solid cams
what is nice about MOPAR is that the duration method is the same for the stock cams and the MP/DC cams and is NOT just at some arbitrary lift
MOPAR starts where the clearance ramp changes to the acceleration ramp
so solid cams with different adjustment clearances are automatically taken care of
.020 advertised or .050 - you cannot compare unless the tapped adjustment clearance is the same
some aftermarket companies use SAE which is .006 at the valve- that you can compare and if you look hard you can find SAE for most MOPAR cams
HOWEVER the timings given in the FSM and in the Victory listings are mostly useless except to compare one MOPAR cam with another- you can not even use them to set/ check the timing
