No spec card came with the cam.
I am going to remove the cam today and check the lift on each lobe.
I am also going to check the dual springs against a set of mopar springs that came with the cam I installed in 383 that went into my 65 2 dr post.
The 383 has some head work, a 750 holly on an Edelbrock intake and a set of hooker headers flowing through a custom built 2 1/2" exhaust system.
Later
