You can still get Johnson lifter direct from the supplier, they are the solid type.

Send a message to the member named 'Pete' -- he has been grinding flathead cams longer than I've been alive (and I'm 58). He can regrind a stock cam core to the Potvin 3/8 grind - I've had a lot of flathead friends get cams from him . . . you'll be pleased with the quality of his work.

Ping me if you need help.

If you need the original Johnson's just contact me either with an e-mail: [email protected], or a P.M. here.

Occasionally we find the lifters are on back-order, it's rare but it has happened. With this in mind we try to keep a fairly large supply here at all times, so far, so good.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Just arrived this week, couple hundred lifters and valve springs strictly for the Flatheads. Shots here show the "Topline" lifters brand and "Associated" valve springs!
