i think there about $3 to $4 dollars and you need the 1.9mm ones from what everybody said.

i also think you add them to the one already in,so you end up with two,,have to double check on that one.

or you could buy a rocker rack from a wrecker and pull the shims out of that.

remove one of your shims and go and match it up for similar (slightly smaller) washers.

I was just looking through some old Wade specs sheets from when I was doing the original E-series cam testing for them...

One I didn't try was the 977B

duration is 206@.050"
lift is .512"
phase angle is 111 (which of course can be changed to be a bit more mild like 113)

I reckon this would be cracker, but it will require aftermarker springs.

Dave.

yes the 977b is basicaly a highlift 1004. Being ground on a higher lift, the 0.050 timing is also increased slightly to 206deg and the tightish LSA may hamper a stock Auto ECU. But if you opt for a 113LSA this cam should be a cracker in an auto.

I've installed 3 Wade cams, 1004/110, 1386c and 1521a, all are VERY VERY diffrent.
