Red_69Mach1 Journeyman Posts: 28 From: Northridge, CA Registered: Jan 2002	posted 01-19-2002 02:29 PM Hi- The 1969 Mach 1 I just bought has a Edelbrock Performer 351w Intake, a Holley Street Avenger Carb and I believe it has stock heads and cam. I was wondering what would be the best head/intake combo I could put on it, without touching the cam?? Is there anyway for me to find out what find out what head I have right now without pulling it out?? or finding out if the cam is stock or not?? Lastly, what kind of head can I get that dosen't need constant maintanece and adjusting?? Sorry if that's a lot of questions, but I really would like anyone's opinion. Thanks in advance. ------------------ 1969 Mach 1 with a 351 Windsor, FMX tranny with cooler, Holley Street Avenger(670cfm), Edelbrock 351W intake, mallory ignition, MSD blaster ignition coil, headers, flowmasters, IP: Logged

You can check lift by turning the engine over with the valve covers off, lifters bleed down some, but if the lift measures over .480" it isn't the stock cam. Duration can be checked with a degree wheel, in the car. Its a bit of a pain to do Besides, you might wanna change the timing chain for a new one anyways.... so do the cam. For heads... hmmm personal preferences rule there. I do know guys that like the AFR's and the Edelbrocks IP: Logged
