Help with "Full Race" cam ID
385 S-T Looking for info on this cam. I believe it's an Almquist 385 S-T but cannot find much info. Anyone know? It's not in my possession I'm considering buying it.

Re: Help with "Full Race" cam ID
I found that thread but I didn't see where it actually list the cam. That's what made me think it was an Almquist grind though.

Re: Help with "Full Race" cam ID
I bought the cam so I'll be able to hopefully measure it out but would still like to see some old info. My 1950 Almquist catalog doesn't list it.

Re: Help with "Full Race" cam ID
Not many early "Full Race" cams had very high lift. Isky was probably ine of the first that came close to the .400 lift range. The base circle determine the max lift. Using new cam cores raised the price of the cam, and the name "full Racr" was more of an advertising Ploy to sell more cams. I have a "cleveland Hone came with 28-72 int .350
62-22 ex lift .335 and this cam was ground in 1937. This cam was/ stil is running in a 27 T roadster in a 239 stock engine. The car isn\t that fast, but the sound comes from Heaven |

Re: Help with "Full Race" cam ID

Re: Help with "Full Race" cam ID
Kind of, but maybe not be totally true. Duration is the next measurement you need to figure out. I had a Weber cam at one time that had something like .350" lift with almost 290 degrees of duration. The lobes were literally like table tops.

Re: Help with "Full Race" cam ID
That looks like the case. Here it is compared to a Potvin 425" lift cam I have.

Who ground your Potvin 425? From the picture, the lobes don't look quite correct (the profile at the peak) - but I might be seeing things. There are a lot of copies in the world, many of which are not really done as they should be. Good luck with all your cams . . . don't yah just love how your mind gets into these darn bump sticks! LOL |

Re: Help with "Full Race" cam ID
I would get that 425 cleaned up before you decide to use it. It looks pretty grungy and rusty.

Re: Help with "Full Race" cam ID
The gross looking one is the ST 385 cam. It's covered in cosmoline. It'll need some cleanup though
