Bruce - It's so long since I've looked at these things that I hesitate to contribute. But apart from the centre bearing which people were (and still are) prone to modify, it looks like a factory sports camshaft to me. The standard 1A208 Coil and XL1195 Mag. camshaft bushes both had an OD of 1 1/2" and an ID of 7/8", the petrol-pump models had an OD of 1 17/32" but the most common Sports bush had an OD of 1 5/8" and ID of 1" (1/8" larger than contemporary std. in each case). The centre bearing had only 8 rollers by 3/8" because of the thicker shaft - against the std. 9 rollers by 5/16".. Have a measure and see if this is the case with yours. Can you not find a number? Hope this hasn't confused the issue even further!! Cheers, Bill
