Is it the same grind as the cast iron one that Chaffin's used to sell, with the advance built into it?

Same grind, valve timing is optimized, do not advance these cams.

I have one in my 26 Coupe, it starts easy and runs pretty good.

A collaborative effort. Mr. Bruto did all the sourcing work. We supplied our .280 camshaft master for the grind. Our camshaft grinder verified the grind specifications and consistency. These came out really nice.

HI Mark,

I will take one camshaft. Do you have bearings as well? Also Iowe you for a set of lifter cups for my overhead 8 valve Roof. When Dave sent them to me with my order I did not get your address. Do you take a credit card or should I send you a check?

tnx, Howard(frontyboy.
