The last two years I have talked to his wife at Hot August Nights in Reno NV. Very Nice lady. His daughter is quite an artist, and is doing some work similar to dad's. They setup a nice display of his work each year.
Have a good electrician come in check for any voltage drop across any devices in that circuit or the panel to tell what the condition of your system is. I've been making sparks for 35 yrs. Glad to help if needed.
Check out what Don (Cuda66273) has at http://www.4secondsflat.com/. He uses Racer Brown Cams. And has his own set of rockers that have a 5 year guarantee on them. He has them setup with the EQ Magnum Cylinder Heads. He helped me my 392 and it runs great.
This the motor that I'm running in my 68 valiant. Don at FBO helped me pick the parts out.
