Is there an aftermarket cam for a 1974 engine available that is better for economy and smooth low end performanc than the original factory cam? thanks, JackF |

The MP "243" (last 3 digits of the part number) cam is slightly better than the 1971+ solid lifter cam, new ones aren't available and those on dealer shelves can be "suspect"...your other choice would be the Comp Cam 252S.... -D.Idiot |

Thanks. I bought a 74 Valiant 4 door on ebay but haven't picked it up yet. I am fed up with temperamental computer operated autos and want to fix this one up as a reliable and economical standby car. thanks, Jackf |

The early Slant cams were pretty short on duration, that would help low speed and MPG. You may want to check with a local cam regrinder to see if they could make one for you. http://www.dutra.org/pictures/engine/st ... -specs.jpg DD |

I don't know the part number, but it is the stock cam for a 1968 Dodge 225 with a one barrel carb. I guess it would be 2268708 going from the good doctors chart. |
