Greetings to all: The rebuilding of the 292 in my F100 is now in the planning stage. I finally found the cam of my choice offered by an outfit called "Thunderchicken Automotive." This is the standard 57 Ford cam with 256 advertised duration, 208 @ .050, 113 LSA, INT. centerline 110, EXH. centerline 116, I believe this would mean it's advanced 3 deg., INT. lobe lift .269, EXH. lobe lift .282, Timing @ .050: INT. opens 6.4 ATDC, INT. closes 34.3 ABDC, EXH. opens 39.5 BBDC, EXH. closes 12.1 BTDC. I have been able to confirm some of this data as I still have a very used 57 Ford cam with "EDB" to compare it to. I have been in touch with Cid at Thunderchicken Auto and was informed that this cam was ground from lobe masters made from the original 57 cam. I think this may explain the lack of .003 lobe lift. I haven't purchased this cam yet but it is on my list. Just Google Thunderchickenauto and it should come up. They refer to this as the "EDB" cam. I was told these specs were from the Cam Doctor provided by the grinder. If anyone has had experience with this vendor, please comment. Hope this helps............JEFF

Greetings to all:In researching various cams here are some things I discovered regarding the E-210-S cam which is supplied/distributed by Elgin Industries. It's also the cam sold by several antique vehicle parts suppliers such as NPD in Canton Mich.. And yes, the specs do indeed seem to be the same or very close to the "de-tuned" cam. That being said, those specs for the E-210-S cam are very different from the cam doctor specs I received from Thunderchicked's EDB cam. I think if you Google Elgin Industries you should be able to navigate your way to the "210" cam which is NOT the EDB cam. Elgin does supply specs @ .050 so one can make a good comparison here. Also, Elgin Industries is not the same as "Elgin Cams" owned by Dimitri Egin. Thanks, JEFF...........................
