I got a good deal on a cam off Craigslist and would like to know what to expect from these numbers.

Cams are not my strong suit- still trying to visualize the geometry of it all.

I have no experience with that cam, but it looks pretty mild to me. Bet it would work well with a super six setup. Should make for a nice street motor.

Yep, street cam. That is just one little bit above a stock '71 cam. Pretty much the same as a MP 0.436" cam. 8.5:1 true compression is about right with pump gas. I suggest centerlining it at 102 deg.
