I have two question regarding cam selection for my 67` 302 mustang. =
What is the highest amount of lift I can safely have with =
pressed-in-studs on my heads? A few months ago, a discussion on your =
digest covered the topic of distributor and cam gear compatability. I =
can't remember the details but, which material is compatable and which =
material is not compatable with a stock distributor gear?

Thanks,

It isn't just the cam selection, it's the whole combination. Pushrods,
rocker arms, installed valve stem height and valve springs all have an effect
on the strees impressed upon the stud.

Personally, I think going with anything more radical than a .500 lift (with
the proper springs rods etc) on press-in studs is asking for heartache. YMMV
