I bought a RR-2 cam and lifer Kit from him in 1961 for my 301 Chevy engine. The price was $269.00 for the cam, roller lifters, short push rods, valve springs, and ultra rev kit, in cluding shipping. If he is 90 1/2 years old now in 1961 he would have been 39.5 and I was 19 years old. Time sure passes by and so do the prices!!!

In 1961 I was working as a mailboy at Westinghouse. I made $65.00 a week and brought home $41.10 a week, so that $269.00 didn't come easy.
