That cam was originally intended for the 1964-69,  95 hp engines. It was 
never used for earlier engines. I believe that some 110 hp engines came with the 
889 cam from the factory. Yours may have been one of them. 

Since yours is a 110 hp engine, I suggest that you use the 304 cam, although 
if you should choose to reuse your old cam, that should work OK too, but be 
sure to check all lobes for wear. I'd suggest a max of 0.002" allowable.

The 889 cam was designed to provide good low speed performance, while the 891 
and 304 cams (nearly identical) are designed more for high rpm performance. 
Your choice.
