With a 4 speed or CJ stall converter and enough gear it should be ok.

Agree with Tommy, that's a good cam, but you will need a little bit of gear. It's quite a bit larger than the CJ cam which was 205/220

There are a couple caveats. First, it's a flat tappet cam, which is like playing Russian Roulette these days. Second, you say your engine is all stock - I wouldn't just toss a cam in a 55 year old engine.

If you're looking for more power, advance your initial timing and recurve the distributor, swap out the 4300 Autolite for a 3310 Holley, and add an Edelbrock Performer intake.
