Default Re: Cam number out of my L-78 nova

Thanks for ur reply Rob

I called comp cams today and asked them, they said it isn't there camshaft part number. So maybe it is a Crane cam!! Inbetween some of the lobes are the following numbers, from front to back, CWC, and then a M, 180 degrees from it, then a C3, then 180 degrees is D3, then the next markings are near the back of the stick, between the lobes is 881, then right beside the distributor gear is a 6 then 180 degrees from it is a J.
Owner number 2 of the car said he put a hydraulic cam in it for more bottom end, however, it has solid lifters in it at this time. Maybe this will help you identify it Rob. I just thought maybe somebody would have some old camshaft books around or recognize the part #.
What do you think of this cam, close to the same as the L-78, but a lil more modern. I think I will be using this one when we put it back together. Comp 11-671-4, or the link to it.
