A great cam for a 2ltr pinto , is A"crow 661", use with extractors,exhaust, free flowing air filter,and dyno tune and a rejetting of the stock weber for good results.
nice lumpy idle as well.

Escortboy

what carburation are you using?
Does it have a lot of head work, ie porting, big valves?
Compression ratio?
what are you planning to do with the car?

All of these factors & more need to be considered when choosing a new camshaft

there are so many cams available for the pinto from the UK & even here its nearly a loaded question with out more information

when you replace the cam, also replace the oil spray bar at the same time. I always found it to be cheap insurance to increase the life of the cam as it is a pain in the butt to replace.
