Quite the guy. Made his first cam grinding machine form some other cast-off machines, and proceeded to start his empire.

Wikipedia has a biography about him.
My first Hot Rod tee shirt was one from Isky Cams.
Rest In Peace, Ed. You've earned it.....
Quite the legend. Rest in Peace.

Yep. Spent many fun-filled hours in the garage either working on my car, or over at a friends place.
DeleteIf you couldn't afford the cam, at least have a sticker.
ReplyDeleteRight alongside your Holley and Hurst stickers!
DeleteThat he did. May he rest in peace!
