So I've searched high and low to find the 68,69, and 70 MT w30 cam to the factory specs. I'm looking for the 328/328 duration .475/.475 lift with the 108° centerline. Every cam place I call tell me it either doesn't exist with the 108 or that they don't have it/ can't make it. If anyone on this forum can help me bc I'm new to oldsmobiles I would appreciate it. I tried supercars unlimited they didn't know the centerline of their cam, comp doesn't make one, elgin doesn't have anything like it, isky doesn't have any info on one, I was told that someone got one from Napa 10 years ago but they don't can't get them anymore. Howard's won't answer the phone and neither will clay smith. Oldsparts.com claim they have it but the one they have is on a 110 degree. Anything helps thank you.

I have the Engle 22-25-10,cam in my 70 W30. I think it out performances the GM W30 Cam, and you can run power brakes. Not sure they still make it, but at the time they made it on a 108 lobe also. Also has a little more lift, than GM cam.

First of all, you, and apparently all the people you talked to, are confusing ICL for LSA. Two totally different things. Don’t call any of those people back, they’re idiots.
Besides there are more modern grinds available anyway.

They are available and are 110 LSA installed at 108 intake centre line. That’s what you are talking about.

I’ve had no problem getting them, or the W31 factory grind. PM me and I’ll let you know where

So the advanced of the w30 cam was also 0, So it's was 108°/108°. The cam itself isn't as big as the one I have now and I don't have to worry bc my power brakes work and I don't have ac. Even if comp made a 108 degree cam they have 4 degree advance so is 108°/104°. I just think it's crazy that no one makes the exact stock w30 cam to factory specs. I would just get someone to grind one but everyone is 3 to 8 months out for a core.

Ik there's better preforming cams now but I'm extremely fascinated about how the cars were from the factory. So if I can't find the exact one I want, then I'll just leave the cam that's already in the motor.
