The advertised cam event for the 1200 GX cam is 256degrees with the following specs.
Inlet opens 20 degrees BTDC
Inlet closes 56 degrees ABDC
Exhaust opens 58 degrees BBDC
Exhaust closes 18 degrees ATDC

I suspect that these figures are at zero lift & I have absolutely no idea what the A15 cam specs are.

Without the additional drive gear to engage the rearward positioned distributor in 74 & later engines, this cam can not be used if you expect the engine to run [or work] in a basicly standard configuration. [ie, with a distributor]
They will only fit '& work' in the A10 & 1200 engines [up to 73] Did I say '& work' before. Oh yeah, I did.

Thanks Ang, maybe I just flew by it. How's the sedan? Anything new?

Is there bad blood 'round this thread? Or just joshin' 'round? I was away for a bit.

Phunk
I didnt even think about that. Although I do have the extra 1200 motor in my garage, along with the 4spd gear box.

The kids want me to build a Lotus replicar. I saw one with a datsun engine installed. I still have the pics on my puter

Ebay "Datsun 1200" and it should be there.

Speaking of cams, if you have a cam that you want "copied", is that possible? By copied I mean using a cam as a master as opposed to using a normal master cam. I have no idea what cam grinders use as Master cams.
I used the word cam 7 times

So proclaimed silent E, will this cam fit a 74 and up A series or not. I know the answer and I posted it in my first reply. I just want to see you say it, as the following is a big statement. Quote:

Did what?

this thing's not any bigger than an a15 cam I bet

I just went through ebay searching for 1200 stuff & this did not show up in the search. What gives?

How do you guys search? I look under 1200,110, B110 etc.

phunk who did that to the id tag?

Hmmm

So are you saying this camshaft wont fit in a 74 and up A series and bump the pushrods to open the valves? I have always been led to believe it actually will.
