Thread: What is up with Howards Cams

Tweet

I ordered my cam in early January, with a 2 week delivery. I am still waiting, It is a roller cam for BB Chevy. Anybody else having an issue?

Have you called them to make sure your order did not get lost in the shuffle?


Bill S.

I have called twice, today I got a promise for end of March.

Most likely its a core issue-Back in the day when Howards was in Cal, they made there onwn cores out of round stock, heat treated, ground, and parkerized right there in Watts-Today , don't have an idea--------- but if you need a cam and you have one that hasn't been reground before they (or someone else ) could probably do a turm around in 2-3 days

I suspect it has to do with most engine builders today going to roller cams instead of flat tappet and Howards having the best price in the industry. They're likely as busy as a one-armed paper hanger. When giving advice on Hotrodders.com, I usually spec out a Howards and I think there are about 75,000 members over there who read that stuff, not including the guys who just cruise through without being a member.
