Inliners International Forums General Discussion AMC/JEEP Rambler 196 OHV Cam Timing

Well I'm finally installing a Galvins RV cam in my little 196.
First Step is to measure the original cam....This is in 1965
motor with about 25,000 original miles...I'll include the RV cam
spec's for comparison..
Measurements @ .050"

........ Stock .................. RV
Lift Intake .383" .......... . .410"
Exhaust .383" .......... .... .410"
Duration 210 degrees..... 202 degrees

So, the RV cam has about .027" more lift and 8 degrees less duration. I'm taking .040" from the head surface also. This should give a 9.35/1 compression ratio. Stock is 8.6/1 I'm hoping for 10 to 15 more HP @ 2,500 to 3,000 rpm with these mods.
