ENGINETECH + MELLING details show a 10 degree cam change from 246 to 256 1972 -1973 on the 200 six.
I currently have the ENGINETECH ES658 in my 78 200. I wanted to run a Comp Cams 260 but I sent it back do to base circle run out. The Comp Cam had the same casting number on the camshaft as the ENGINETECH ES658. The ENGINETECH ES658 has zero base circle run out.
The MELLING FOV9 + ENGINETECH ES658 256 degree camshafts were installed in 250 engines in 1969.
