Used B camshaft value
 

I happen to have an extra model B camshaft. I haven't taken measurements but it doesn't show much wear.
We have a large car related swap meet this weekend and I'm thinking adding it to the pile of treasures I will be selling.

What is a ballpark value of something like this?

They are not worth much around here. I usually get them for a cup of coffee or a beer. Any more the journals always have to be sleeved or ground under for block sleeves.

I wont pay over $15 for one, IF they have a center bearing diameter 1.556" or greater.

I have a winfield grind on my workbench that has less than 1,000 miles on it. And I THINK it is a 5 journal.

Ford made 3 five journal cams. First had all 5 brgs. ground to the same size, Second had #2 & 4 ground smaller to make it easy to install in the later 3 journal blocks, third had # 2 & 4 rough turned on a lathe. Only the first group is suitable for the Burtz block.
