Flathead Guys...which cam have I got ?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by rat bastad, May 27, 2010.

  1. Guys,

    I have this cam I score years ago unused and am curious as to which brand of cam it is.....I seem to recall that it was reground from a Potvin master, but which Potvin cam it could be I don't know.

    The specs are as follows:

    Lift: Int/Exh .390"
    Dur @ .050": 246
    Lobe Sepn: 112 deg

    Not sure what the cam's pverlap is.

    Can anyone identify this cam from the specs and if so, what the actual overlap is?

    Thanx,

    Rat
     
  2. My guess - a 'Climax 400' . . . I think that was the name it was called. That is the only other grind between the 425 and 3/8 that I know of - and the lift seems about right. Hey Pete - you happen to know?

    Hey Rat - I got your eMail . . . will post back ASAP!

  3. Ok....thx Dale.

    Climax ??? What a weird ass name for a cam HAHA, this ain't that kinda website fellas....

    Now, anyone know the actual specs of the Potvin "Climax" ? Esp overlap? Im curious as at 112 lobe sep, it might be suitable for a blown combo ?

    Here is a list of Potvin Cams and a spec card I received from Bill Jenks when he ground a 3/8 Super for me years ago.
