[Roadsters] cam swap

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Phil, et. al.,

My understanding is consistent with John's:  Keep the rockers withthe cam, 
lobe for lobe, and you'll be OK.  I certainly hope so, because I put a used 
"B" cam into my car with the same rockers it was run with.  Haven't fired it 
up yet, but ....

I also kept the original "A" cam with it's rockers marked to match just in 
case things don't work out with the "B".
