Hard to read but the one at the top is your cam, i believe.

I appreciate you looking at this.. Yes, I think you are right. I wonder if it's even as much cam as original?

Anyway, the way the exhaust sounded when I listened to the video of it running before he removed it from his car bears this out. Very smooth and definitely no lope at all.

It's all okay though because my objective isn't performance. If it was I would probably spend several more thousand building a 400 or 455. The more I think about it, I will probably just leave it as is. Maybe even remove the 4 bbl and use my 2 bbl manifold with rebuilt carb. A new cam might mean different push rods and possibly valve springs... I just don't want to put a lot of money into a ho-humm engine when I already have one that, though not powerful, runs decent... Similar to how the original once did.

Came across some great deals on parts I will definitely need this past week.

Both my front fenders are rusted beyond my ability to fix...fender and bracket rusted away. Also, there is evident bondo in both current fenders. Passenger is also bowed out somewhat. So, instead of getting patch panels I was able to get these fenders that I can fix myself. Brackets are solid and fenders are straight and otherwise in pretty nice shape.

I also was fortunate to get and exceptional set of 15 X 7 HW code Rally II wheels that came off a 77 Can Am... Super clean and a great deal!

BTW, if anyone is looking for a nice set of 15 X 7 HW or HM Rally IIs, priced reasonably,, he has another set in excellent shape. Let me know and I will get you contact info. Wheels are in NJ.

Tomorrow back to working on underneath the rear.

You and that car were meant to be together .
The parts you need or want - just float down from the clouds !

Congrats on your good finds and good deals.

Yes, I've been blessed with some good finds! I think this should be the last of the used parts I will need. Your clarification on the Can Am wheel bolt pattern was very helpful.
