The catalog listing for this nut calls out a left-hand thread, which is worth knowing before you go anywhere near a wrench on it — get the direction wrong and you can do real damage to the cam or the pump drive.
Our record spans catalog appearances from 1960 into 1969, so this nut shows up across a run of years in the parts books. If you're not sure this is the exact nut your camshaft takes, give us a call and we'll confirm before you order.
