Just a quick one here, does anybody know if I can fit an exhaust cam sprocket to the inlet cam apart from having to remark the timing mark?

Hi Norm, I understand that apart from the marking they are the same so yes you should be OK.

The sprocket would physically fit, but there would be no integral outer sprocket to drive the dynamo/distributor or magneto. Paul.

Note to self, Engage brain before operating keyboard, absolutely correct of course Paul, Doh.

Thanks Dennis and Paul,
I'm aware that it won't have the dynamo drive sprocket and I would have to attatch one, problem being that the 54 has a 30/15 tooth dynamo sprocket setup and I want a 19/19 tooth to drive the Pazon ignition at half engine revs. Mr H has said the twins cam sprockets are the same so I am hopefull that I can use the sprocket from a Series 1 Inter and all would be good. The Pazon is designed to replace the K2F mag and I have a K2F mag sprocket which is a duplex chain, so the Series 1 Inter would be perfect.

Just an update, got the single row cam sprocket and chain from Allan a couple of days ago, fitted straight up so now the Meteor is running happily on it's Pazon ignition and alternator on the crank. Now to put the genny and dizzy setup on ebay.Should help offset some of the costs
