Re: camshaft specs
Web Cam Inc. makes cams for 356s one of which is 86B. Maybe 91 was also a number that they used? Could you have read the name incorrectly?

Re: camshaft specs
No matter what the cam says it is alway prudent to insall a new or new regrind cam instead of a used one. You cannot tell how much life is left in a used cam. The other reason is to pick a cam that fits your needs. Due to the limited amount of oil filtering the 356 does if you start to lose a cam you will lose the motor soon. When a cam goes bad it sheds very hard bits of metal that act like sandpaper and will grind away the bearings soon.
