There are 2 typed of early cam Blanks. One has a flush mount cam drive, the other with an extendes cam drive. IF an adapter was used on the latter cam it would bove the cam out aprox 1/6 inch, unless the back side was relieved. I ran into this problem many years ago. However, the engine wouldn't turn over when I bolted on the cover. I could see the gear was forward and discovered the mistake. Making mistakes, makes you very smart.????
