Notice that the A cam has 8 distinct lines, while the B cam has only 4.

Seems there are questions as to if the B distributor cam is being reproduced?
Yes it is reproduced we are now making new ones, they are now made of hardened tool steel like the original, these are not powdered metal like some of the older replacments. I have several reports back that the customer noticed a big improvment after replacing there old cam.
If anyone wants more info email me at [email protected]

Thanks
