Good camshaft cores have gotten pretty scarce, and restorers often like to use their original parts anyway. This service allows you to send in your cam, it will be completely resurfaced and reground to original specifications, then it will be returned to you postpaid and ready to put back in your Model A. Broken and heavily rusted cams are beyond saving so please inspect yours prior to sending. You will be contacted before any work is done if a problem is discovered. Click on the 'Print Service Form' icon then print the form. That form will explain the simple process for completing this service.
