I have a '81 Crane catalog, that lists a Blazer 304-2F.

304/314, 238/248 @ .050, 114 LSA, .563/.586 gross lift, .026/.026 lash.

Says it operating range is 3k - 6.5k. Sounds like a good early cam (split wise) but, 81° of overlap and 86° ICL. I'd advance it 6 - 7°, for 79° ICL. Even at 79° ICL, it can  take 11/1 CR

I would think the idle produced by this cam would be pleasant.

Back in it's day, it would make others think, before they want to put their foot down against it.

Slow lobes, so, probably not to bad on springs.

Thanks   Had a 1977 and 1991 Crane catalog didn't see any listing for this cam.  Might stick it in a street engine just for the heck of it.

also have a Howard FE cam, only number on rear in Howard 295.  Got these given to me, hate to throw them away I guess.

Perhaps this Howards cam?
