Mac McKellar saw those headers and really like them and said "I'm going to design you a cam for those". So he did. He even stamped the production numbers on the end.

The Ramchargers protested Dad one time and made him tear down. They checked that cam on the tailgate of their station wagon, laying in V blocks and with dial indicators, and pronounced it OK even though it was bogus as hell.

My older friends that had knowledge of “happenings” back then say the Chrysler bunch were the biggest cheaters!!!!
I keep thinking of the Wayne county pro stock cluster. I don’t think we ever heard that whole story, and that’s a recent ordeal, nothing like the 60’s stuff....

Dad would tell them "I'll tell you every place I'm cheating if you do the same".

They never took him up on the offer, but he did notice it took three guys for them to take the spare out of their car.
