If you are in Daytona right now, just go up to Crane cams and tell them you need the dowel pins for your car and they will give you a couple of both.
That is what I ended up having to do when no shop I went to had one.

Thanks for the info. I ordered one today from Fastnal. But it was before I saw this post so it is longer, it is .600" I guess I will have to do some grinding.

The bare pin must be longer than .300", because you have to tap it into the cam. .300" is just how far it sticks out.
