I am rebuilding the engine in a 79 L-82. When I bought the car I was told that the cam had been replaced with a higher performance cam but the seller did not know specifics. I have the cam out and note a few numbers cast or stamped on various locations. Using these numbers, is it possible to find out the brand or specifics of the cam?
I wrote this in another post awhile back, this is what I had-- starting at the end without the steel tip the marking are-on the flat end I have TM30R5 The 'R' is cocked and slightly out of line with the other numbers. the next set of markings are on the shaft two inches down from same end- stamped K1 and on the reverse side#14 with red paint. six inches down - stamped EP-6 w/yellow.From other end (with steel tip) two inches down I have C2 and on the reverse side D2 w/ purple paint. 6 inches down-CWC no paint. Hope this helps
