Auto parts stores and speed shops

Had 2 SuperShops within 10 miles of me. Also had Santa Ana speed center (gone) and even Herbert Speed Shop, a mile from Disneyland. I bought a Stage 2 cam from Herbert's. I talked to some old guy behind the counter in a wheelchair about a cam for a 318 with 273 top end and he sold me his "Stage-2" grind off the shelf....Came in a brown shipping tube. Yeah, It was Chet himself! :eek: They also had an old cam grinder right on the prem. I heard the grinder was a 'little loose' and the cams that came off it were not perfect but I think I paid $49 for the Stage-2 cam. Ran great for me. Maybe 2006?

There are still alot of Import speed shops around, mostly air cooled VW than tuner shops though. Hard to beat Ebay on tuner parts.

That is cool you got to meet him.
I remember Chet Herbert advertising cams for $49 back in 1975.
