A couple companies made these. I have one made by Lee tool company

There are a lot of different versions, I think some are even currently being made and sold. Not something I would use.

I can't make out anyway to index the cam on that tool. I may be missing something.

The one my dad owned, had a wheel, forward of the mount, with index marks and a pointer, for the valves to be adjusted.

The Lee Tool can the pointer. The wheel is able to do V8's and 6's.

My dad pasted it on to me so, I remember it well but, in the late 60's or ealier 70's, I didn't think I'd ever use it so, I think I tossed it

I've tossed many Ford parts, in the late 70's and 80's that I'd REALLY like to have now! That includes a street 427 engine and MT cross ram manifold.

We can only wish we had the space to keep everything.
