I run a cam I have done locally. It is a new grind put on an original A camshaft - not a new one so it is very economical.
Duration is 264 degrees which is significantly more than any of the B profiles but the lift is a modest 0.288". My best engines run that cam with a 5.5 head and downdraught Stromberg (ex Holden grey motor) carburettor. It is with this setup I tow a camper weighing about a tonne behind my Phaeton all day long for days on end at 50 mph. I love driving this car solo too. It surprises many a modern motorist. Can't get the grin off my face even now!
