Hi Tony
O T for a second, altho the 101 keyboard does not have a key for degrees, Microsoft gives us one in our operating system. Hold down the Alt key and type 504. As soon as you release the Alt key the degree sign will appear.° °

On some keyboards, Num Lock needs to be on (upper left of number keypad). Hold down Alt and type 0176 on the number keypad (number across the top will not work) and release Alt. Also on some keyboards only the left Alt can be used.

Num Lock on > Press Alt > type 0176 > Release Alt °

Tony,
Is that cam a radius lifter profile? Sure Harvey had some track cams that were, Weber did too but with a 1" radius lifter.

KiWinUS · 03-01-2015, 06:13 PM

G'Day Martin , it is a flat tappet cam , not Radius .
Cheers

These symbols are derived from what are called ASCII codes. This makes available MANY symbols that are not on most keyboards. That's my 2¢ worth. DD

Are there spring pressure specs with it?

Tim Ayers · 03-02-2015, 03:55 PM

Hey Tony:

I have one of these cams brand new in the box as well. Is yours ground on a new blank and not a regrind?

Check out this link: http://www.midstateantiquestockcarcl...at_heads4.html

There is talk of some roundy round guys running it with some success.

When I found it years ago, I posted a thread about it. Someone responded saying they run this cam. If memory serves me right, it may have been GM, but I'm not sure.

Best of luck,

Tim

G'Day Ronnie , what are the specs on the R-450 ?
I feel the cam I have just acquired may be a real good "flathead" cam .

Hi Tony

Curious on your thoughts on this cam. When I first found it, guys on here weren't crazy about the specs. My thought was I don't think Crane would make something that didn't work. He was a real advanced opperation; especially for his time. I like it for it should fit under stock heads. Plus, from what I understand the dual pattern and different lifts have some merrit for its intended purpose.

Tim Ayers · 03-03-2015, 08:33 AM

At the same time I found the Crane, I found a Melling A200. It is a 1/4 & 3/8 mile track cam (full race according to the box)

In Opens 25 Closes 67
Ex Opens 65 Closes 23

In .322 lift
Ex .322 Lift

Duration 268 Ex 272 In

This is also ground on a new blank and not a re-grind.
