Dave,

Thanks for the note.? My car is located in Canada BUT it is a domestic spec series 2.? Thus it came with Dellortos and "E" cams and yellow dot pulleys from the factory.

Adjustable pulleys COULD be an option for me but I am wondering if that means pulling the engine again to properly "degree" things?? Maybe not the end of the world but my preference would be not to go through all that again.

To me the "simplest solution" would be to find an "E" camshaft and return the engine to stock but I have not been seeing any of those offered for sale.? It would be great if you (or someone out there) had one for sale.

I appreciate your offer of an adjustable pulley "set" to a suitable MOP.? I will keep that option in mind if no other solution can be found.

Tim,

Thanks for your thoughts on my options.? Your explanations are always so clear and helpful.? The ONLY issue I have with your questions (you advised me to choose - exactly right of course) is that I have very limited experience with what these changes mean in the real world.?

I have had this car on the track in the past but not for some years and I have no plans to do so again. I did take the car for a four-hour run this pas week.? It was the first time I have run the car any significant distance with the mis-matched cams ("E" on the intake and "C" with yellow dot pulley on exhaust).? The car ran okay but I definitely noticed far less punch at the mid to high-end of the rev range than I recall from the stock setup.? I would like to fix that.? Where my lack of experience comes in is that I don't really know what the effect would be (in real-world terms) to convert to "C" cam setup.? I know I will need higher RPM to launch from a stop (as an example) but how much and will that spoil my driving experience??? Maybe I need to find an example of a stock Jensen Healey to take for a spin?

Based on my current level of knowledge and your guidance I am thinking my preference would be to return the engine to stock (with two "E" cams) with the second best option being to put the "C" cam on the intake and "E" cam on the exhaust.? To do that I would need a confirmed red dot pulley.? I think my least preferred option would be to find two red dot pulleys and run "C" cams on both intake and exhaust.? (Note: I actually do have two "C" camshafts available.)? I am quite certain I do not want to go with the 104 cam setup since that sounds too boy-racer for me.

Ian.
