Re: Goodguys Iowa Heartland Nationals
Belair,
You couldn't run the Z-11 cam anyway, unless you used the 583 heads (deeper valve spring pockets to prevent coil bind). I was just curious since the manifolds would indicate "service package" in '62. There was only one dual point offered - the 919. I'll email you with some details about component combinations and when they were offered. Too bad I won't see you at York tomorrow. Verne.

Re: Goodguys Iowa Heartland Nationals
Belair,
With today's technology, I'm sure you can get valve springs that meet the Z-11 cam spec, but with smaller diameter wire, so if it's set up right you can have the valve lift with 690s without coil bind. Just can't do it with stock springs. Some people have tried to machine down the spring seats on 690s and hit water. And in the worst case, the seat didn't break through until after after the engine was running......nasty result. Verne.
