    Saw video on YouTube.
    Ed talking about he figured he was making big money when daily manufacturing 5 cams @ $20 ea. He was ahead of the engineers
    I only recall installing one Isky cam cuz it was -30 and no heat in carport many moons ago

    I bought one of his cams, dropped it in a 351/400M Ford pickup, had a 560 lift, 110 duration. It sounded sweet.
