DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY.

Don't waste your money! Reviews on Google rated this product as poor quality and cheap metal. Unfortunately it is true. I received this camshaft via UPS yesterday and it came in 2 pieces. A word of wisdom, please review all information on this product before purchasing.

Pros
  • Fits Ford 221-302 with original camshafts with flat tappets
Cons
  • Minor problems

Disappoints best in camshafts

Very disappointed with this set. I went to pre-install and the kit did not come with a camshaft lug/oil hanger locating pin. So now I have to shell out another $10 for what I think should be included in the "complete set". VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Pros
  • Works well with most stock components such as rocker arms, manifolds, heads, compression, torque converters and gears.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Error in listing from manufacturer.

This kit will NOT fit pre 1973 engines. Timing chain kit includes Comp Cams 3230. 1973 and newer with a two piece fuel pump cam. I have a '72 302 with a solid quick release. It rests on the control cover. I no longer have the package and have now lost $40 on a matching 3220 crankset. Grrr.

Pros
  • Operating Range 1200-5200 RPM
Cons
  • Blank

Something went wrong

The camera did not meet specifications. When the mechanic checked the cam, the height of the cam was one hundred and forty thousandths less than it should be. Called Comp Cams, they said they didn't change the grind on the cam. This camshaft was 268 and I wanted to replace the 268 camshaft that was in my engine. The old 268 cam showed no signs of wear and had more lift, so I decided to just put new lifters in and reuse. The machine works normally and has the same characteristics as before.

Pros
  • Made in USA
Cons
  • Almost OK

The Comp and MSD cameras match what is written on their labels.

Meets my expectations. Combined with an MSD manifold and Holley 570cc vacuum secondary carburettor. The computer camera advice proved to be true for my 1969 Ford Fairlane 500. Final touches for a 4.5 year old restoration. I would have no hesitation in converting my other '69 Fasback Fairlane to this combo. Highly recommended for fans of the classic American Ford here in England.

Pros
  • High Energy grinders are a good combination of efficiency and productivity: they are ideal for high-performance road rehabilitation.
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
