Hi Lon,
The screw driver trick is what sold me, and after holding a screw
driver dipped in oil that's easily held then with STP and there's way to
hold it. That and after I lost an Isky, a top fuel driver Ted Cyr that
lived close to me in Escondido, and ran the same 462" lincoln as I did,
told me to use it on new cams: http://www.----------.com/IskyRR1000.jpg
