All of the Hemi engines they built probably had a mechanical fuel injection pump driven by the gear drive.

Therefore a traditional cam button was not only impossible but also unneeded. The pump drive and gear drive cover served the same purpose.
I have not had one of these apart for 45 years so I may have missed some detail but you get the drift. Injected engines would not/could not use a traditional cam button and didn't need one. Everybody else does.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
