First, find out if they have them in stock.

I personally dont buy from them,they have someone make it and sell it. I would buy direct from a company that makes them. JMO

They were much better before Ron died and the name was sold.

I have just one suggestion: The only cams I have ever used in my 3 motor builds are from Hughes Engines. They are MOPAR-specific and built and manufactured by them exclusively. You cannot go wrong in using them...cr8crshr/Bill

I have Hughes in my 505, Mr. Six pack in my 440 for pure stock racing in the future.. Mr Six pack is so nice to deal with and easy too , Hughes was good too.

The "Purple Stripe" cams were the rage in the day, however they are very antiquated by today's cam and spring technology standards.

While there is still a following for them you can find a much better camshaft for whatever your application is than a Purple Stripe grind.

There's better choices than a Purple Shaft cam for sure,
no big deal for a street car or street strip car they'd be just fine
Hydraulic Flat Tappet or a Flat Tappet solid

Racer Brown Camshafts, the org. MoPar designed cams

& the org. design of the Purple Shaft cams
lots more to choose from, have your particulars ready,
compression, weight, gearing, converter etc.
& contact very 'MoPar knowledgeable' guys at FBO [email protected]
the people at FBO acquired & their R/B designs, from what I remember (I believe don't quote me)

they have other better STX & STR Rollers too, not listed specs below in that link
contact them, they can do a different grind for you, MoPar specific grind

here's a good list of their cams

FBO Ignition - Home of the HRR688 - Racer Brown Cams

fboignition.com
