This cam number was also used on most 250 SE and 250S sedans (W108) of the era.

Thanks for the info Joe.

Don’t need the bearings - just the cam.

Thanks

db180,

Longtime member Walt Klatt gave me a cam a few years back and I think it's the one you need, condition quite good as I recall. 

Contact "waltklatt" here (and surprise him ;D) to arrange price, shipping, etc., and I'll commence the exhumation and confirmation of the "68" code on the end, then get it back to Walt.  [Never was sure just what I'd do with it, but Walt's just generally a generous guy and I appreciate his having entrusted it to my care.  Sounds like you have a good home for it.]

If I find any problems with code or condition I'll let you know soonest.  Otherwise we'll proceed as above.

Best luck and regards,

Denny

db180,

Found that cam and sorry, but wrong number.  Yes, seriously.  And yes, I am sorry and boy do I feel silly as well. 

Apologies and wishes for better luck,

Denny
