MP 509 cam

I believe this is the cam in my 72 currently. 12 inches of vacuum and seems to idle somewhat docile.... Not sure of the rest since it's been sitting 30 years.

If this cam goes flat I would replace it with a small solid. Very reliable and as said not so cumbersome in regards to maintenance.

Asking about this cam really boils down to the intent of the car and budget. If I had the P to V clearance and other things complemented it why not? You won't be a pioneer using it and this stick may satisfy your short term goals.....
