We present high-time resolution spectroscopy of two AM Her sources E1405−451 and E1013−477. For E1405−451, the Balmer emission lines profiles can be divided into a narrow component and a broad one. The amplitudes of the radial velocity curves of these components are respectively 265±30 km/s and 390±50 km/s. The orientation of the column determined from polarimetry is not compatible with the broad component being formed in the lowest parts of the column. Photometric and spectroscopic results on E1013−477 do not confirm the previous reported 103 min. period. Rapid variability (<1.5h) as well as long term modulation (>3.3h) is present in these data.
