Glad to come onboard!
Is there anyone out there who has used Schneider's 258F cam in their Y?

Schnieder is seldom mentioned on this site, nor in Y-Block magazine.. What kind of specs does the 258-F have?. Popular ones are Isky (he was doing Y-Blk cams way back) Others were from the Clay Smith company..still in business?. And Mummert Machine in S.Cal, (link from here) has a line of Y-Block custom order Cams, that are done by Isky as far as I know. A couple of those cams have had spectacular results..

It has been awhile since I’ve seen a Schneider camshaft in my area in any engine, much less a Ford Y.
In looking at the specs, the Schneider 258F cam is a small step up from the 1957 Ford/Mercury 272/292/312 Y cam and just slightly smaller than the Isky E4 camshaft. In a basically stock engine, it should idle well with its 110° lobe centers and is expected to work okay with a stock converter and automatic transmission. The Isky E4 comes with 108° lobe centers unless special ordered differently and will have a slight rumble to the exhaust on a basically stock 272. As with any camshaft install, all camshafts should be degreed in to insure they run as intended.

You can give them a call in San Diego. They have been in business for a long time and a lot my friends/members in the San Diego Roadster Club have used their equipment and set many Bonneville speed records.
