Is this a good deal for the MP purple shaft 284 528 solid lifter cam and lifters new in box.

Kinda weird....I've seen the cores purple all the way down and seen them purple on one end. No rhyme or reason that I know of.

I am not sure anything had any uniformity back in the day. I would often go do Dick Landys shop and buy their seconds… stuff that was slightly blemished or somerhing minor like that. Crane gold roller rockers and shafts for 150.00 my engines never knew the difference..but my wallet did
