| 425 cam specs??
hi Guys,
I am looking for the factory cam specs for a KX block 425 cid with 2x4 barrel carbs.
The engine is in a 1964 Buick Electra convertible.
I have the factory manual but it doesn't seem to be listed.
Thanks, |

I think you will find this link most helpful. Look at the attachment on the first post.
Essentially its the same cam as the 63/64 1x4 425s. The part numbers changed between the years but the specs are the same as the 64,65 and 66 2x4 equipped cars.
The 109 degree lobe separation or "spacing" provided a little more top end HP as well as a wee bit more loping idle compared to the 114 spacing cams. Post your Cam Specs! - V8Buick.com

I was wondering about that, I think one may have to join the group to see their uploads.

Canada's a big place...what part does this Electra convertible live? If it is nearby, or possibly where I travel, I'd love to see it.

hmmmmm.... desicions desicions :-) | I have been doing research trying to figure out what cam to buy for my 2x4 Riv project. I've just about settled on TA Performances TA_20 cam but I'd like to find someone who has run one rather than go by the paper specifications alone.
Isky makes one with a good bit lower lower duration than the TA cam but with a little more lift than stock so that should idle smooth. That PN is 110125. Many of the other cams I have researched seem to have too radical change to the performance side for someone wanting to stay closer to stock.
