I don't like to give wrong information. Going into the dark arkives of my old documents. I found some specs for the Clat Smith 272 cam and the other readers were right, lift was .325,
Going to the Smith Jones cams I found a cam 270 with .375 intake 312 exhaust
I brought out the rear part of what I thought was a Clay Smith cal and it measired .384 Int and .380 ex.
Im not sure where thid cam came from as I sold it in 58 to Elmer Roy for the 74 which was running at Danbury. I now understand why it ran so good.
Unfortunately, I was wrong about the origin of the cam, wish I knew what ti was.
