Not to worry, you have the correct cam for your engine, still available
either new or reconditioned. It was used in GT6's and TR6's from around 69
- 72, and is actually one of the 'hotter' of triumphs cam grinds. If you
really want I can look up the spec's ( I don't have my shop manuals handy. )
It's the same cam I installed in my 70 GT6+, which by the way I just got
back on the road with the freshly rebuilt, polished and ported, no-lead head
(rem. previous head removal post). Runs better than ever, made all the work
worth while ( Isn't that usually the case! ).
