[Roadsters] Cams

[Ronnie Day]

The "B" cam was designed to work with the dual Solex intake setup and
produces max power at higher revs than the standard cam. Frankly I doubt
there's any useable benefit unless you change from the SUs to the Solexs
and maybe swap in the 3.90 diff center section from a 1600.

Les (CDM) may have some good used cams, both "A" and "B" grinds. Or you can
contact Schneider Cams, Web Cams or another cam outfit. You'll need new
rockers and lash pads, too, especially if the "new" cam is a regrind. You
really shouldn't just swap in another cam for your current one.

FWIW,
Ron
