camshaft
Hello, Who sells new camshafts for a 42 Mercury. I hope the noise is the adjustable tappets, but just in case I want to find a source for a new camshaft. Thanks.

Re: 3.25 rear
19Fordy, I was thinking about getting the Getz gear set from Speedway. Maybe 3.54 would be better, I am not sure. Looking for better cruising speed.
