no it doesnt have to be hybrid, only that ive always considered comp cams stuff to be near the top of the shelf. not familiar with Rollmaster.

EDIT: jeff i reckon the Rollmaster looks the go after a look on VPW + eagle / rocket do them too.

The high end comp cam chains are made by SA-Gear. Not sure of the middle product range. Roller master will work out for you if you go that way.
I will someday think of something clever to say.

Coupled with a german Iwis /Jwis chain. Check the links for the oem stampings before installing although some are very faint and hard see.

Trav my OEM chain is long gone if thats what your referring to, as a cam and chain was fitted by 2nd owner in early 70's. currently it has an extremely worn double row that i fear will take a dirt nap very soon.

No i meant search for a timing set which has german made IWIS or JWIS stamped links. If unstamped use at your own risk probably cheap chinese chain

Oh, I thought that was some form of weird German/ Jewish joke as well- thanks for clearing that up.

I think it was the red series that I bought with multiple keyways (maybe 3040?).
It's been a while!
