I understand that Crane Cams of Daytona USA make an improved cam and push rod set for the TD/TF.Does anyone know details and cost in the US?

Crane remarks that “oversize lobes are used to reduce wear. If stock pushrods are too long, use Crane pushrods part 905-003” Crane’s phone is 904-258-6174.

I think this is more related to a problem with too much heat close to the carburetors (vapor lock) rather than a cam problem. When I rebuilt the engine, I found that the block and h
