Cam Choice for a 62 Catalina
I'm getting ready to make a cam choice for my 62 Catalina with a 4SPD, 3:55 gears and A/C. The motor is a 60 over 389 with flat top pistons, PMD states 10.75 -1 but I've read actual is like 10.25-1, stock exhaust manifolds (for now) I was thinking of the 068 cam but was wondering if there is a better choice for a 4,000 LB car?

I would go with the 068. I've tried the Summit cams and currently run one in my 455 powered Chevy truck and don't like it. It will be coming out when I get a chance. Definitely the 068. jmo.

Nothing beat s the 068 in a big car.
Ram4 is for 3:90 up gears

I'd agree with the 068 - anything beyond 218/224 @ 0.050 will probably sacrafice too much bottom end in a 389 big car like your '62.

Thanks for the feedback, the 068 cam it is. I'm ordering it on Monday.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
