I believe the Camshaft in the Wangers RED Car at the time of the March 1964 Car & Driver "389" GTO vs Ferrari article, was the "L" camshaft 9770543 (used in the 63/64 421 engine HO engine). This is based on comments by Tom Nell years ago.

1963-64 421 HO L 293 113 .407" .447" 63 301 119 .407" .447" 9770543

The camshaft from Lunati and the 455+ engine came after Mr Bill Sherman bought the red car from Wangers. The time frame for that would have been in 1997-1998 when Milt also had "Birdie" port a set of 64 Tri-Power cast iron GTO heads to where they were flowing in the 230 to 245 cfm Intake port range.

Those heads and the Lunati camshaft as well as the LARGE engine allowed Milt to run well into the 11 second range with the car.
