ok i was just wounding if the comp cams they have will work for my 88?
they didnt say what years it was for so i was curiuos if they would work or not because obviously mine has a mechanical fuel pump and they dont say if it will work and i emailed them and i know they dont usally answer so i figured maybe some one hear knows
Thanks guys

so if i bought one it would work for my 88 with the original fuel pump and all??

It's just a stick with bumps on it. :-) Fuel delivery type should make no difference.

All the cams for the sohc b3/b6 that I've seen have the lobe for the fuel pump, so they should work.

DO NOT use roller tipped rockers with those cams, ask me how i know.

By this do you mean the Aspire top end?

[hofficergrover]

ok i was wanting to make sure it would work with a mechanical fuel pump. roller tipped rockers and y not??

[mechanicaldj]

if you are using it with a carb'd engine

i do not think you would be worried with roller rockers, so why ask?

i was just wanting to know what it do to them? i dont know all like technical on the internals on this motor does the stock motor have hydraulic lifters or do i got to get sum??
i dont know much and i am gona have my dad do most of the work haha so i can learn how to do all the rebuilding stuff.

the aspire roller tipped rockers can destroy the lobes on the cam.

DJ, i'm thinking FMS should be a bit more spicific about the rockers and specify that the flat tappit hydrolic rockers be used (aspires are hydro as well).

If you have an '88 carbed then I believe you should have mechanical adjustable rockers. (someone correct me if this is wrong). The FMS cams are for HLA's only. All you need to convert is the rocker shafts, rockers and HLA's from a later model EFI engine.

so if i used like a 92 head then i would ok

Yes. But I don't think you have to change the head if your '88 is OK. All you should have to do is use the shaft & rocker assemblies off the '92 head. I believe it should bolt on to the '88 head without issues (once again, someone correct me if I'm wrong!). I do not know if the springs in the '88 head are weaker or more susceptible to coil bind than the later model EFI springs. You should double check for coil bind before firing it up.
