The cam is a Max1 clone done by a local cam grinder who's been in the business since the mid fifties. The car will be a cruiser.

Re: Calling Ol'Ron, calling Ol'Ron...
What kind of springs are you planning on using? Stock? New or used? When I got my MAX1 from Iskendarian, it came with a set of their 185G springs. I only needed a couple of shims and have been very satisfied with it's performance.

Lincoln Zephyr springs should be just fine

Re: Calling Ol'Ron, calling Ol'Ron...
I just re-read my copy last week, my copy is spiral bound. I didn't have a dog looking over my shoulder either.

Re: Calling Ol'Ron, calling Ol'Ron...
That Book was printed 29 years ago, and I've learned allot since. I started Nostalgia engines and began rebuilding them for others for aprox 15 years. It was the first of the modern Flathead books and I think it helped bring the flathead back into popularity, When I went to the 1097 York ps car show there were only 6 flathead there including the one we brought. It was then I thought of writing my book, In 92 I brought a 100 books aand sold out in 2 days. I'm very proud of that.

Re: Calling Ol'Ron, calling Ol'Ron...
Ya know, I never thought about that. I always thought it was just a part number, but perhaps it does have some other meaning. I wonder if anyone else knows?

Re: Calling Ol'Ron, calling Ol'Ron...
I always took it as just a part number and generally a stiffer spring than what is needed for a street flathead.

185G is the Isky part number for their performance type Flathead valve spring. That valve spring is similar to the Lincoln Zephyr valve spring which is a good alternative for the flathead. Ronnieroadster
