It appears to be about an inch smaller in diameter than the original:
I'm thinking this will not work. Am I right?

crank-to-cam relationship always 2turns:1turn
what matters is how many teeth each gear in the SET has
18:36 ... or 22:44 ... makes no matter so long as cam has twice as many teeth as crank ... cam turns half-speed of crank ... many C-3023X installed pre-'86 sbc ... it's correct for sbc C3
