Cam Degree wheel setup for V8 flathead
I've been shopping for a degree wheel to check my cam, but have not seen anything size wise to fit either the crankshaft, or the '40 fan bolt pattern. Any recommendations?

Re: Cam Degree wheel setup for V8 flathead
In most cases there will be a small amount of fab work to get it bolted to the crank,and fab up a pointer for wheel.
There should be someone here that can walk u through it. In chassis will also add to the difficulty. R |

This one seems to have a ton of fitting options. Last edited by Tim Ayers; 10-12-2020 at 12:14 PM. |

Re: Cam Degree wheel setup for V8 flathead
I bought a speedway one that came with adapters that fit it to flathead crankshaft--- not the best accuracy as checked on rotary table--- the "printing"was a little off center, but not much more than the width of the printed line

Kurt, the only one I could find at Speedway that fit a flathead was the Offenhauser one that had the crank hub part of the wheel. Flathead crank is about 1.310" What did you find?

Re: Cam Degree wheel setup for V8 flathead
my mistake---it was summit racing, it was on sale when I got my 6V optima, summit #SUM-G1057-16, it came with bushings that fit the crank bolt , I added a flat washer and it bolts right to end of crankshaft of A, V8

You run the chance of it loosening when you turn it backwards.

Re: Cam Degree wheel setup for V8 flathead
Exactly, that is why I am trying to avoid mounting directly on the end of the crank. I think ive got it figured out. I'm going to mount to the 4 bolts for the 39 -40 fan. I can turn the crank with the center bolt.
