That cam was originally in a 265 punched to 301 with a set of heads that matched double humps. The dist was an early dual point Vette with a Mallory dual coil and an early Vette 2-4 setup. It was hooked to a 39 box via a Sheiffer 10 lb alum flywheel into a 40 pickup rearend with 441 gears. That was my '36 5 window, mid '60's, and it was a screamer for it's time. And yes, it had one hell of a rough idle.
