Stipe distributor cam

[Steve Rinaldo]

I just found a Stipe model a distributor cam that I bought sometime and have some questions. I know that everybody thinks these are the best available but they have no instructions, so here goes.


1. Do you use the stock .020 setting with this cam?


2. The web site talks about improve dwell which means longer coil saturation and the end result is a hotter spark. What should the dwell be with this cam?


Thanks for info, Steve

set .020- .022 Dwell you have then is correct. Measure there and play as much as you want.

Look at the side of the cams, Model A ones have 8 vertical "SORT" of Lines on it, the Model B has only 4 "lines".

It is simply a Model B ground cam. As for instructions, install and set the same as any other distributor cam for the A.

Along with the dwell the big difference is each high point on the cam is going to be the same. The other repo cams that I have checked are not. so you get the timing for each cylinder different.
