Thanks Chris,  I thought the distributor and oil pump were linked and =
driven off the same gear.

Hi Mirek,

One gear drive is for the distributor. The other gear drive is for the =
oil pump.=20

If the distributor gear drive and the oil pump gear drive are the same =
dia and number of teeth, then it=E2=80=99s an early cam.=20

If the oil pump gear has an additional tooth, then it=E2=80=99s a later =
one.=20

I wouldn=E2=80=99t run the earlier one in any car that regularly went =
past 5,000 rpm.=20

Best

Chris

Hi all,  I attached a photo of two camshafts I have been lugging around =
for some 40+ years.  They came with a batch of early 3000 engine parts, =
however, there was a Wolseley bell housing in the mix too.  Some of the =
cams are toast but they may be good as cores for someone.  I would like =
to know what they are from.  The second gear drive has me flummoxed.

Cheers,  Mirek
