Now that Wade Camshafts have closed their doors for good :cry: , I'm having trouble finding a specification sheet for the old Wade 140 profile that I'm considering using in the Marcos.

If anybody here can help out, please post the specs or send me a PM. I need enough to set up the cam timing.

You will find these are mostly the same as Wade's.
104 is listed here.

a 140 Doc,,, not a 104

two totally different cams

140 is basically a 35-75

a 104 is basically a 25-65

I've got a Wade 140 in my 1310 Mk2 S. Nice street cam, good mid range torque. Shame the company has folded.
