Title: Points Cam Identification
Post by: pd on October 12, 2016, 05:37:51 PM
Simplex part number for the Wico points cam is 1245 . Here is a picture of a Wico cam , Courtesy of RickS .  He positioned the high point at 12:00, so we can see the index of the key tang, which is 7:15 or so.

Simplex part number for the Phelon points cam is 2462 . Here is a picture of a Phelon cam , similarly positioned . Note the different location of the key tang .

Some or all of the Phelon cams may be stamped as shown in the picture below , which is  Phelon part # F2529 with a directional arrow .

The Wico and Phelon cams are definitely different . Obviously to accommodate the different placing of the points .

Documents on this page (  http://www.simplexservi-cycle.com/index.php?topic=446.0 ) verify the Phelon # F2529 crosses to the Simplex # 2462 .
