My step-dad is that way. He knows "quarter lift", "half lift", "three-quarter lift". I told him the lift specs of the LS6 cam and he shrugged.
Has to be just something with the ol' timers. And he's about 55. Hehe.

A friend of mine rebuilds SBC's and resales them. In his craigslist ad's he uses that terminology simply because the people that call him don't understand anything else. His RV cam is like a comp cam 240 to a 268 depending on what he has on the shelf.

this is the same guy that had a 86 GT gutted out with a cage running 13.2 n/a and 11.9 on the juice... when he found out what my truck ran he was speechless... but he still argues that old school motors are the way to go! lol....
