<VV> Smittys Carb/ Crank Gear

[Larry Forman]

While I certainly can't explain it, if someone has one of Ray Sedman's 
slick adjustable cam gears on an engine that is not yet installed, it would 
not be too much work at all adjust the cam gear and get a reading on what 
changes.  Naturally, it might be necessary to use the same cam type as 
Smitty has to make this a more valid test.  That likely knocks this idea 
totally out of reality.  Oh, well.
