Does anyone have an off-the-shelf option for a crankshaft turning nut for our beloved Y Blocks? Would help me degree the camshaft during this upcoming assembly...

thanks

Thanks Soffiian - that looks like a plan as well. Nothing like the "lifetime guarantee" Laugh But I would think you won't need it. 
I do have another method to try out and will post a picture later on... all depends on whether or not I can get enough leverage with this particular tool. Hopefully, I will get my parts back from the machine shop soon. Time is wearing away before the Y Block Nationals. I may end up pulling the 292 and installing another camshaft in it just because I have a new E4 on the shelf with an NOS set of Ford EAA6500 lifters - plus an adjustable timing gear set to boot. The RexHP headers are supposed to arrive sometime next week. I really want to get those mocked up and ready to go with some type of cap to exit near the front tire when running at the track. I may just make two exhaust sets that I can swap easily. Not sure which route I am going to go on that one. Things are tight in there on the driver's side. 

What's the old saying? "Built, not bought" ???? Tongue

With my travel schedule for what I do in life, this may end up looking like one of those stupid shows on SpeedTV where all the drama comes down to the end where the builders try to get the car finished in the nick of time. Hehe
