431 IsKY cam

[Walt Dupont--Me.]

A friend of mine has 59AB cam he as had for 40yr's. On the front of the cam is (Iskenderian 431 track) sort of put on with an electric pencil. Has anybody ever heard of that cam? how about you Pete? Walt

Yup, as I recall Isky called that one the "Accelerator".
The 433 was the "Exterminator".
Competition for the 425 "Eliminator" of Potvin's.
Isky's attempt at that market didn't do to well.
I don't have the specs on the cam any more but as I recall it was in the 280 degree advertised duration.

I have two listings for the 431

IN 29/71 .410"
EX 71/29 .410"

and

IN 25/69 .422"
EX 60/18 .422"

Gathered off the internet some time ago...no clue how accurate they are

The info I have is the same as your second one. Don't know where I got it from.

Pretty late closing on the intake, even if decel ramp is short. Top end cam for dry lakes, Bonneville, and restricter plate tracks.

Thanks Guys, I got to build a street engine for this guy, he has most of the stuff to go into the 276 but I don't think this cam will do for a retired gentalman in a 40 ford 2dr. Walt

I have had experience with that cam. It is a poor excuse for a cam. It will not pull a greased penis out of a lard barrel. No grunt, no top end, and only a rough idle. A 1007B will beat it everywhere.

Hey Walt (corrction)

I never intended to use this Cam ( isky 431) just wanted to know what it was, i guess from the report of knowledgeable people its pretty well " Crap".
Remember i've got a L-100.

Hey JWL, how do you really feel about it? Love the description.

I forgot, he did tell me he had an L-100 he just had done. He hasn't got the stuff to me yet. At least we found out about that 431 cam. Walt
