    Never mind. I can see a part no. on the EBay listing and it doesn’t match either number.

    Hi again. I’ve got a lead on a camshaft from a Sunbeam Alpine fastback. I see that the part no for a Series V camshaft is 1235930 s/d by 1239455. Anybody have a part no for a fastback Alpine camshaft? Thanks, Alan
