I call it a "2bbl cam" to note the difference between it and the cam used in the 383 335HP engine.
Fair enough until someone uses that as the reason the 67 A body 383's had less hp than the 67 B body 383's, then you have to explain, well, they have the same cam.
Now maybe if it were better understood that all 67-68 383's had the "two barrel cam" except for the Road Runner and Super Bee, then there wouldn't be such confusion about just what the differences were between the A and B 383's.
Somewhere on Allpar is a history of the Road Runner telling how much trouble the product planners had convincing the engineers to put the 440 hi-po cam in the Road Runner's 383, and you understand why that cam didn't make it into the Barracuda in either 67 or 68.
