I bought a set cause I couldn't resist the price! You get what you pay for. The adjusters on mine were so loose they would not stay adjusted even through breakin. Rather than take them out I staked the threads on the adjustment with a long sharp punch to roughen up the threads so they would...

Check with pete1 here or on the hamb. He ground my potvin has has all the specs and profiles you could ever need. Neat guy, has forgoten more about cams than most of us will ever know

Thanks Ron I will look into it a little further. Looking forward to update #4

Ron can you tell me about the 6" sbc dampner? You stated you bored the ID to fit the crank but does the OD size work with the seal? What is the benefit? I'm thinking maybe run smoother? Also how about belt alignment? As you can tell I am interested in doing this. I am building an 8ba...

I have a 1940 v8-60 in my 40 ford that is complete and runs. I have been up and down the road with it a number of times. 3 speed column shifter trans. also 1940. I put new smitthy's Muflers on it just for kicks and it sounds great. I was planning on doing a short u-tube demo if I ever learn...
