RE: 273 cam question

[sean dietz <dietz_diggler@xxxxxxxxx>]

in the Mopar Performance Parts "Small Block 'A' Engines" book on pg. 170 in the camshaft and valve gear section it says "All 273s from 1964-67 had mechanical lifters, while later 273s (1968-69) and 318s (1967-91) used hydraulic lifters." i hope this helps.

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
