The sd-455 cam is as follows intake duration 301 intake lift .407 exhaust duration 313 exhaust lift .407.The HO cam at the same lift is , intake .465 and exhaust .469. The HC-63 is the Ram Air IV cam for the sd-455 intake duration is 308 with a .500 lift with 1.50 arms and .550lift at 1.65:1. Exhaust is .504 with 1.50 arms and .554 with 1.65 arms.

^^^^....advertised durations....
the meat is in the .050" figure where the HO racing cams add 10 degrees compared to the factory grinds.

Meant the same duration the lift is increasedwith the HO cams.

Nice car. Original miles? Could be. There are very few quibbles.

Looks like it was originally a radial tire car... that is now sitting on bias plys..

Spare is an original Firestone 500 Steel Radial (just waiting to explode!)

[frank.g]

Definitely a nice car, but it does have replacement exhaust, shocks, hoses, belts, hose clamps, non-original battery and the earlier mentioned tires. Front valence is steel replacement. There could be other parts replaced that can't be determined in the pictures. These are things I would take into account before I would pay "time capsule" money.

[Larry Navarro]

there's WAYYYYY to much greasy filth around the steering joints.
Just remember.........speedo cables are so easy to disconnect on these cars......or alter the odometer.

They must of had a sub stamping rims on April 3. On April 4th, things were back to normal.

Nothing like driving around with a bomb in your trunk....

Right. One of my NOS Firestone 500s grenaded over the winter with only a few psi in it. And it was stored in the corner of the garage.

I love this car and am not trying to pick it apart, but this caught my eye the first time I looked at it and still cant figure out what I am seeing. if you look at the plastic lower door panel, has it been vinyl dyed and it is bubbling up or what am I seeing???????

I think it's just the vinyl delaminating from the pressboard backing.

im talking about the hard plastic part to the right of the arm rest.

I see what you're saying... distorted picture? flaw in the plastic when it was moulded?

sdbob, I have an HC-62 SD455 cam from my former SD TA. The cam came with the car when I bought it in 1989 and appears to be in great condition. This is the 230/240 @.470/.470 (w/1.5 RR) cam, which was advertised as the 744HL version of the stock Y cam, so essentually a stock RAIV cam with the big distributor gear. I believe it was purchased and installed in the late '70's/early '80's and removed when the motor was rebuilt in 1983. It was suposed to be reinstalled, but due to a mix-up, the original Y cam was reinstalled with Rhodes lifters. The PO didn't know it until I saw him a few years ago and asked him why he used the Rhodes on the factory cam. He said he thought the HO Racing cam was in there all along and was news to him.
