37 Special, here is what was listed for Buick straight 8 cams in the 1973 Crane Handbook:
M-272-C *Ltd Street / Oval Track, 272 degr; 236 @.050, .437 lift. .016 / .018 hot clrnce
F-302-HI hi rpm, *Drag / Oval Track, 302 degr; 259 @ .050, .516 lift. .028 / .032 hot clrnce.
F-268/380-2-8 CompuCam, *Drag only, 332/342 degr; 268/278 @.050, .570/.580 lift, .022 / .024 hot clrnce.
These are all solid lifter cams and Crane didn't specify engine size at all on that page so I guess all Buick Straight 8's had the same cam dimensions, etc. They also didn't print any recommendations for compression ratios that worked with each grind.
Don't be confused by the CompuCam. This cam had nothing to do with on board computers. It was a model of Crane's profiles that were designed on a computer.
It is noted that all these cams for the Buick are regrinds on your cam. The price was $90 and you could also buy the recommended complete spring and retainer kit for another $50. Now all you have to do is call them and see if they will sell you a regrind and the kit for $140 in 2004 money!!!
Hope this info is of some help to you.
Mike
