I agree for a slight build the Summit cam will swap right in.Springs should even be good with it.Ive ran all their cams and for the price they cant be beat.90 bucks for cam and lifters was what I paid for the last one.Rocky

Do you still have the stock 7.25" rear? If so, I think the J bodies had 2.24:1 gears them just like the M bodies. I'd swap out gears then before doing anything cam related.
2.94:1 geared 8.25" rear from a police package Diplomat or Gran Fury would be my next upgrade.

if you have 2.45:1 or 2.24:1 rear and want to keep it, stay conservative. I'd probably spend the extra coin and go for a lunati voodoo 60400, and comp 901 springs.

pull the cover and look on the ring gear for ratio.. 2x on the voodoo cams with comp 901 springs I run the 60710 roller 258/264 207/213 .485/.485 lift works great in my 85 stepside truck

The small Summit SUM-6900 cam is a bargain at $98 and will wake that 318 right up. I am running a stock 318 with the summit cam, performer intake, and a TQ and it is impressive. This is the second 318 I have run this cam in and have not been disappointed in either of them.
What he said...and go ahead and get a Timing chain set as well.

What's your peak rpm and did you change springs? Anyone know just Who makes these "summit" brand cams? I am leaning towards this one, with a power range from 1000 to 5000rpm, worth the extra bucks and comes with a timing chain as well as a reputable brand : http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-SK20-221-3/?image=largeThis one has a power range limited from only 1000 to 4000rpm : http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-K6900/
