Default Re: Potvin cams

I heard a story on Potvin cams in Sweden on late 50’s or early 60’s.
A Sweden pioneer hotrodder had 32 roadster was running 4 Strombergs and Potvin cam.
They sended heavy 32 axles to US for dropp and they was running their cars hard and long trips.
That story show that it was possible get a Potvin cam even after 48 or as late as late 50’s.
If Chuck still was the boss or made cam’s I can’t tell but they did like Potvin.
What I might think, why was Chuck so into the 32 cores, as they must be hard to find even in the 50’s.
If, I’ll just think why not grind the 425 on the 8AB’s, as to me it make sense.
I might be wrong.
-Just a idea after I heard this story.

I read on Potvins company that cams got so cheap in the 60’s so he could not get a core from others sold a cam at, so he went out of buseniss or sold the company.
