Tom, I need all the points I can scrape up on this one ! So yes I will keep it and should I replace the gear. Yes? P.S.- Since I have seen my first Model A cam lobe now, I'm changing my mind. There's no duration on that lobe. Damn near straight up and down. Won't loose any sleep on that fact !!

That's how the cam are when new. If the tip is very rounded, it's due to wear.

As far as the cam gear, I think this one will outlast us, but if you feel better with an aluminum gear, now is the time. It's the gears with the aluminum center (2 piece gear)and the macerated gears that I wouldn't use.

It was brought to my attention that something was wrong with my timing pin ? What could possibly be wrong about this pin ? Almost looked like part of the casting !! Sorry for the picture quality ! You can go to fund Pat @ Ford Barn.co Thanks for your support !!!

Well. yes, that is the same Lincoln Johnson. I lived in western Washington at the time and dealt with him quite a bit. I can tell you I would have written his obituary exactly the same. A legend.
