Does anyone have a good cam for an Autolite IGP 4502-C or similar distributor? I have two but both are too rusty to use.

Don
Would you consider dunking it in Evapo-rust and report back if the surface finish of the cam is acceptable? Dp

If it were just surface rust it wouldn't be a problem but it is deeply pitted too so should be replaced. The cam should be shiny and smooth!

I’m thinking the rubbing block may not mind a few pits along the way, especially when the block is off of the cam.

I would just blast the rust off with a steel wheel and check the operation. Pits aren't ideal but to me it looks like there is plenty of bearing surface left if it were just cleaned.

I ended up going the easy way by handing it over to my brother to take to his shop next door where he worked wonders with it! He’s really good that that sort of thing. What looks like a pit in the photo is actually a discoloration so it will be fine.
