318 cam change

[krazykuda]

Some confusion a j the cars vin says 273 but the block says 318 so not original .

That was my point a few posts back.

The 318 was not offered in the Valiant in 67, it came in 68 and later.

Your VIN number indicates that your car originally came with a 273, so someone has changed it at some time. Now we need to establish what year it is from.

Here's a thread on how to id your block/engine:

Ok, that should be a 1976 model year engine.
