I have a 1944 JD A. It is bored out .125 head has been shaved about .080. Manifold and head ports
have been opened up. Going to have some work done to carb. I want to get the cam done. Sould i use one from a later A, and get it ground or use my orignal cam? Does anybody have any specs for what kind of grind sould be used with the set-up that I have? And what would the compression ratio be, stock stroke? Will probably running close to stock rpm.

Thanks

For a regrind for stock RPM's, I would recommend about 215 deg@ 0.050 on the intake, and 206@0.050 exhaust, and as much lobe lift as you can get. Change the lobe separation angle to 107-108, set intake centerline to around 103-105. Mike

Waste of time and money unless you have it stroked.

The early styled A thru 630 cam specs are the same as far as duration, lobe lift and lobe separation, so unless your cam is worn, there is no benefit to replacing the cam with another stock one. Mike
