The "CAM003" cam has been produced by Mini Mania for well over 20 years and has been used extensively in our 1380cc engines becoming legendary in its own right. It is the ideal road cam for 1275cc or 1380cc, below 5500 rpm the CAM003 produces more power than the 286 profile. The average driver spends 90% of his use of the car below 5,500rpm. Our 'Second Generation' '003' grind is now called "CAM103". Not only does this produce over 115HP in our 1380cc motor but it is even more streetable, pulling strong from as low as 2,000 upto 6,500 with ease. All of this with stock ratio rockers and single 1 3/4" carb. One of the added features of the "CAM103" grind is the great performance in small bore applications such as 998 and 1098cc engines. Not known for their high rev potential this second generation cam provides all the bottom end you will ever need but still helps transforms the motor into a hot street version.
Not for use with Fuel Injected motors (MPI).

This cam is the hard to find pin-drive type!

The secret of the 115HP, 1380cc motors! Mini Mania with aid of Dema Elgin designed a series of cams some years ago! These cams are US made and are of unequalled consistency and quality.One of the designs was for a mid range camshaft that truly tries to please everyone. This cam has a 264 degree intake and a 268 degree exhaust duration and intake valve lift of .327" with an exhaust lift of .358". Elgin cams are not as cheap as some competitors, but we believe that the quality is worth it! Fits any 1275cc! . At TDC intake opens at 25 Deg . , and exhaust closes at 27 Deg . At BDC intake closes at 59 Deg , and exhaust opens at 61 Deg.  Valve clearance intake is .014" and  exhaust is .016 ".

NOTE: Pin drive cams will require sending in a suitable core for regrinding as these cams are becoming more and more scarce.

Question:
I have an Hif 44 carb on a 1275 engine. The carb has a red spring, .100 main jet and BDL needle. Is this suitable for use with a cam103 and 1.5 lifters?
Answer:
That would be a good needle to start with and it will probably work just fine. As with most SU carbs, you have to have a starting point and then you can try different needles either richer or leaner according to your need.

I will try to simplify this complex subject by discussing some basic principles that may be overlooked or misunderstood by the average person.
