Schneider Cams is an excellent source for the Potvin 3/8 Super. For the latest Ford flathead engine we are just completing the cam is the 3/8 Super from Schneider. Checking the cam timing which is critical to do for any flathead cam installation I can relate the cam was spot on perfect to the cam timing specifications. That's not easy to do when a cam grinder is reprofiling an original cam.

That's good news. The one Ronnie dialed in from my motor was ground by Bill Jenks at Moon. Let's just say it needed a little adjustment to get the timing right.
 
The Potvin Super 3/8 is a great sounding cam. I had one ground by Bill Jenks when he was still alive. It's still sitting in the box waiting for me to do something with it.

Great sounding and performing cam. I love it in my '28 AV8 roadster with a 292 c.i. motor. Pulls like a freight train and spins the tires in second.
