Mark,

I purchased the car from the widow of a Nascar engine builder, Eddie Graves and only have some receipts for parts purchased for the build. He purchased the block from Raceparts Distribution Inc. and one of the labor items was for oversize cam bearing bore and then there is a line item that states-
Bearing,cam,5 ID,2.215"OD. Comp Cams supplied the cam and as stated on the receipt specs are for cam installed at 106 intake centerline:

Duration at .050 intake 245 exhaust 252
Lobe lift .3610 .3600

I should have stated that this was not the stock motor in the car and makes brutal power and the cam is quite radical. The distributor appears to be a stock Ford unit. As per the receipts the engine was built in 03 and used for one season.

If the distributor gear is wearing down would the cam have to be changed?
