I just ordered a solid roller cam for my FE from Keith Craft. I also have to buy a new MSD distributor, about $300 from Summit. I asked him what gear to use, and he asked me what distributor I was using. I told him I had to buy one and his response was, "I'll send you a new distributor, with the right gear already on it, installed by us, and custom curve it for you as well before I ship it." The cost was just a few dollars over what Summit would charge for a part in a box. Now THATS a no brainer.
Working with a custom shop like Keith's who knows what they're doing and offering service and expertise at a price that's so reasonable is to me is far better than dealing with an anonymous Cam rep over the phone. I'm sure that Keith, Barry R. and so many other well known and highly qualified engine builders would offer this service. Why deal with some cam company rep? Who knows who will be on the phone that day and what they do and don't know? Sorry to hear about your troubles and thanks for the heads up to us all. I would guess that while Comp Cams obviously knows what they're doing, who knows who answers the phone on any given day.
