Were they fitted in anything older? I found one in a 347 I got with my car.

Dave.

Dave, the stock 57 cam is actually pretty close to the same specs.

The 347 was a bit of a mix of parts anyway, it had 670 heads and a matching '67 intake, a vac. sec 650 Holley etc. It supposedly went reasonably well for a little motor.

Dave, I don't think I answered your question correctly, so I'll give it another shot. Pontiac didn't come out with the 524009 cam untill 1964. However, Pontiac used the same cam in 1965 but re-numbered it to 9779067. They were identical in specs.

Pontiac used 3 factory cams in 1957.
The 519640 was used in the 8.5 compression engines with 2 brl carbs, 227 h.p., and the 4 brl engine with 244 h.p. The 529472 cam was used in the high compression, 10:0 engines with 2 brl, 252 h.p., 4 brl, 270 h.p., and the 3x2 290 h.p. engines. Cam 524886 was used in the 317 h.p. fuel injection engine. Customer could also buy an Isky E-2 cam & kit over the counter and have it dealer installed.

Specs for the 524472 cams: duration 273/282 advertized, 200/209 @ .050. C/L 106/116, lift .407/.411, overlap 55

Pontiac used the 519640 from 55 to 1964, the 529472 was used from 56 to 64, and the 524886 was used from 56 to 62.

Hope this answers your question. Bob

Thats cool, I didnt really have any questions just a bit curious as to what mix of bits were in this engine. It was imported to OZ in a '32 5w coupe years back then put into this car with dual quads etc. later changed back to a single 4.
Lots of people around town knew the car from years back but it has been parked for at least 16yrs. The engine was supposed to have been fairly quick in the 'old days' against all the 283/327 cars and a few Y-block Fords.

Pitts, the chrome 8 lug wheels look great on your car. How is the quality of the chrome plating on the rims? I read your posts when you were having problems with the relined drums, did you ever get them straighten out? I have some 8 lugs and I'm thinking about switching to them on my 65 sedan. But, with all of the problems I've read that you guys are having with the relining issue, I'm not sure about it. However, I talked with Bob Ludwald yesterday and he said he talked with a guy from the Detroit area who says he has the equipment, etc., to take such a project, so hoefully he will start relining the drums.
