    Here is the Comp cam sheet that was in the

    glove box for it when I assumed the car. Honestly not sure how to read it haha.

    Duration at .050 lift, 218*/218*, LSA 110*, degree to 106*. It's a Chevy cam adapted to a Buick. Operating range is 1500-5500 RPM. Works with all stock components. Buick engines like more exhaust duration than intake duration, a split duration cam.

    Might like a small converter.

    Another question- I pulled the axles out and once I get the new gears in can I just slide them back in? Do I use a rubber mallet to press them back into the axle tube? I ask because when I pulled them out looks like it all came out on the axle.

    Thanks

    seat the axle the best you can and draw the bearing seal assembly down with the plate nuts.

    I have a question I'm new to buicks as well. I have a 72 skylark with the 350. Was wondering where to get a good limited slip differential for the car?
