    The 78-79 use their own type of cam and the 80-82, their own. The actual specs should be in the FSM.

          IIRC, the early model cams are stamped 2H7 on them and the later models have 3H? on them. This would help you identify the cams you have anyway.
          Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

          When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
