Hi I took a 1950 Ford flathead to a machine to get rebuilt. I told the shop owner what I knew about the engine. It was originally built in 1951
using parts from that era. Well what was found inside engine was a set of original very light weight hollow Johnson lifters. Thats just great, they are still in real good shape. Also in the engine was a Harman & Collins camshaft with the serial number 7RA 3/4 RE. My question is, does anybody out there happen to know anything about this cam. It is in very good shape. No dings, nicks, signs of wear or corrosion at all. Haven't had a chance to mik it up yet for consistency from one cam lobe to another, but it looks good. I would appreciate any help at all.
Thanks rdmla99
