Default cam specs

Anyone know the specs for the original cam in a 69 L89?

Thanks, Paul

Default L89 Cam

Paul,
RPO L89 is the 435 with aluminum heads.
It uses the same camshaft as RPO L71.
GM part#3863143 casting#3863144

Do you have a documented 69 L89?
I am restoring a 69 Cortez/red L89 roadster.
Would like to hear from you.
Joe
