Now isn't this the truth! That is why one needs to form their own opinion in the end - as there are no shortages of opinions and perspectives on these old engines. One thing I've found is that how the cam is installed/timed can make a huge difference. Sometimes I'll find a certain cam is advanced, another one of the same make/model . . . a bit retarded, etc..
Certain combinations seem to run for one guy . . . and not for another. One truly never really knows the details of the complete 'package', how it was put together and how it was tuned.
Guess this is why one needs to have a bunch of flathead cams - so you can try em' all!
