Well my recent purchase of a Norris 301 and described "Hardy & Beck" cam turned up an interesting surprise. The "H&B" cam turned out to be a Delong 280 grind. After a bit of searching, I haven't come up with very much info, other than Delong was a local (San Jose) cam guy that did a lot of custom work about 30 years ago (found some info on a Datsun 510 he worked on). The only info here in the archives refers to a 270 grind. Does anyone have any info?

I took some quick measurements and the lobes are about 32.9mm wide on both the intake and exhaust lobes. The base circle is right around 23.5mm. I don't know how this compares to any of the "standard" cams out there. From the looks of it, I'm guessing it's going to be a pretty nice street cam for my 32/36 and eventual Bosch LH 2.2 set up. I'll be popping it in tomorrow if all goes according to plan.

Let me know what the FAQ thinks!

Hey Lloyd, it looks like you last posted this 3 years ago. I just came across the same cam. Do you have anymore information about that? I purchased a 284 regrind from IE thinking the current cam would be stock but it isnt. Any help or knowledge would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Dan
