    Is that the manufacturer? I can’t help with ID, just never heard of Elske. Does look like a Ford FH V8 cam.

    Yeah I’ll call them. Just had my sights on a seasoned Flathead gear head to give me the grind of this particular cam. Cold stamps and double stamp is impossible for me to read.if it had been a 302-289-327-350-427-396-351- I’d have an idea myself. But new to old school flatheads I’m in the 101 cl*** of visual and research Thanks fellow rodders.

    Isky is the correct abbreviation. Yes this pictures from a 1948 flathead just don’t have any areas to match what I’m seeing on cam nose. Like to know the specs of the beast. Thanks

    If you've got a dial indicator and magnetic base handy, you can just degree it and find out exactly what it measures.
    Reverse engineering a cam card in the process.
    If you need a degree wheel, Tavia has a link for a printable degree wheel. You can print one out and then just glue it to any cheap round and flat object like a pie tin or plastic Frisbee or picnic serving plate that you can punch a hole through the center for a bolt hole.
    Custom bend up a coat hanger wire pointer and off you go, get it done.

    Thanks but I was under the gun during build due to space. Was told data was in the works? It did not happen. All I have is the old photos. Just like to have the info for performance & dial-in IMG_5225.jpeg IMG_5225.jpeg
