    I've posted this in the street/strip area as well so sorry if you've already seen it. . .

    Thought maybe one of you guys would know which way I shoud go.

    I've got the drop top GS with the lumpy cam and drive it whenever I can. I've also got a 1970 Riviera that is 95% original and I definitiely don't want to mess it up. However, I'd like to add a bit of "kick in the pants" with a cam. Not planning to change heads, exhaust, intake, carb, etc. Just the cam, lifters, push rods, and rocker arms are fair play. No rough idle like the TA413 in my GS is right for this car. It needs to idle like a proper "personal luxury car" should.

    What cam & rocker combination do you recommend?

    Thanks for any opinions!!

    No problem, it's always fun to reply to the same question twice.

    Sounds like you'd enjoy the TA 212 or the TA 284-88H with all stock components. Might want to upgrade the 1970 aluminum rockers with '71 & up stamped steel versions for good measure. New valvesprings might not hurt, either.
