    Attention Camshaft Experts

    I'm working on an engine for a relatively heavy 1931 Slant Windshield Town Sedan. This car will be in a lot of stop and go and less than 40 MPH driving. Because of that I feel more low end torque could be better than high end horsepower. The camshaft I have is a Snyder's Touring grind. The...

    1958 332 Fuel Pump

    I'm working on a 1958 Fairlane with a 332 engine. The car has a bad duel action fuel pump but does not have any vacuum accessories. We would like to replace it with a single action pump but the pictures in the Dennis Carpenter catalog for that year of car all seem to have different looking arms...
