I would if I knew how

I've done what you said and came up with readings of 4@135, 2@138 and 2@140. Is this all you need to determine cam coordination?

I have a dash lighting problem. By blinkers work as due head lights and tail lights. No dash lights work except the blinkers. Being 45 years old could the bulbs be burnt out or is it a switch/wiring...

So I have verified that I currently have 8.2" gears. Can I put 8.5 gears in the same differential housing? I hear they're much stronger.

Can I pick up parts in a salvage yard and if so what should I look for i.e. Fit, condition cost, etc.

If I don't install a limited slip unit how can I get power to both rear wheels. If I take off hard I don't want to spin one wheel when I could have two giving me better grip.

Finally recovered from surgery, took longer than I expected. HD350 tranny started leaking pretty bad so I took it in to have it looked at. What a mess. Required a total rebuild and new torque...

Had rotary cuff surgery on right shoulder last wed and I'm scheduled for same on left mid November so needless to say I won't be putting much work into the 72 until after the first of the year. Still...

Had the El Camino back on the rack today, no tag/identification on the rear end

I gave all the info I have on the cam. This was gave to me by the previous owner who had the cam put in. I've tried to get additional info from the manufacturer, Delta, but haven't had any luck.

Took compression reading today. 4 came in at 135, 2 at 138 and 2 at 140. Numbers are pretty consistent but seem pretty low to me. For reference I live at about 2400 foot elevation. Engine doesn't...

Thanks to everyone so far. I'll get it back up on the rack and check for rear end info then post what I found. I don't want to eliminate the ability to go on a road trip, 300 miles each way or so,...

Just got it a month ago. The only thing I know about the rear end is that it's a 10bolt, tires are P 245/60 15's. Transmission is a 350 Turbo. Engine data is in my original post, updated info...

This engine is in a 1972 El Camino. It will be driven on the street, don't see me taking it to the strip. Looking for a combination that will run strong and sound good. I don't foresee me racing it,...

Can I get 300 hp with these heads using the right carb, intake, cam and headers? Any suggestions

Any idea on how high of compression these would work good with?

These are the heads, are they any good? Can I find out what they originally came off?

I've read posts where people have said the 8 is a 3 but it is definitely an 8, checked it twice then had my wife check it. Are these heads any good?

Picked up a screw in compression gauge and remote start button. Will do compression check this week.

I finally got around to taking off the valve covers. The heads have three items embossed,,,front portion of head says hencho in Mexico, in the middle of the head is stamped GM12, near the rear of the...

I'll do that as soon as I can pick up new gaskets. If it is a 69 rather than a 72 the compression goes up to 9:1. Does this help the performance of my cam?

If that's the casein happy, I was thinking it was a 72 with 175 horsepower. It is currently attached to a 350 turbo hydro tranny. Is there any way I can identify the heads to see if they are better...

Still looking for numbers on the block. I found some stamped on a shelf under the alternator but they don't make sense to me. Top number is 1m1226 and below it is 1vp ?.

I recently purchased a 1972 el Camino with a 350 that originally had a 2 bbl but was changed to a 600 cfm Holly. The previous owner also put in a Delta Cam for which I can get no information from the...
