firing order is easiest way to tell

SO 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8

HO 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8


now if your getting a stock cam, as far as i know only 302 HO and 351w got this wiring order for the smallblocks. all aftermarket 5.0/5.8 cams got this firing order also. so if your only worried about getting a cam that will work with all the other componants you should be set. most people wont try to sell a lunati as if it were a regular HO.

I couldn't find it on the site, but thanks for the link, I most likely will be using that site.:hick:

isn't the second a TFS Stage 1?

the Ford A-311 and A-312 camshafts above are hyd. flat tappet camshafts for the older non roller engines. I've used both in the past (in my '65 Mustang coupe) with good results. The A-312 pulls really strong from around 4,000rpm-6,500rpm with a Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Holley 600, and an Accel electronic distributor, on an otherwise stock '65 289. The A-311 pulls a little bit harder at low rpm (might work better in a heavy car like a T-bird), but not nearly as strong up top as the A-311. I also used the anti-pump up lifters with those cams. One thing I find interesting is the camshaft card that came with the A-311 I bought back in 1991 listed the advertised duration as 295/310 degrees instead of the current advertised 290/300, duration at .050 was listed the same as it is now.
