Re: 76 258 CJ-7 Camshaft specifications
Yup, just like the '64 Rambler engine. 270 degrees is the stock
grind for the TJ's 4.0 liter. Anything more than nine to one will not
run on today's pump gas. Thank God for leaded aviation fuel.

Re: 76 258 CJ-7 Camshaft specifications
Very good, then. Thanks for your advice, Bill, as well as CRWLR and
anyone else I missed. I think I got a bead on it. You've probably watched
my threads go from BB Chevy to V-6 but I'm probably gonna stick with the 258
and do something "different". It all matters on what drops in my lap before
I get the cash:)
