Let me ask this, then. The one I have is the Cloyes make, which is pretty much the only one I see being sold. Mopar might have one, but it woulda taken more searching than I did.
Looking at the plastic...it just looks cheap. My presumption is the Chrysler produced (OEM) plastic might have been better. Yes or no?
I know what you are saying regarding the speed change, but to be picky, it's only when there is a slow down in engine speed, not an increase, that the cam retards. I don't think that's a good thing, but I'm not so sure it a bad thing either. If an engine were super-tight on piston-valve clearance it could cause trouble, but otherwise it might just be one of those things that isn't theoretically perfect but doesn't seem to show much actual effect.
