This may be a dumb question but I'lll ask anyway...

I have an 8BA in my car that was rebuilt by a previous owner. It's bored .60 over and has adjustable lifters. This got me thinking that maybe the cam was also altered or replaced during the rebuild.

So my question is this: how do I know figure out what kind of cam it is without any major disassembly?

I still have to run fuel lines and do a few more things before i can start the engine, but I'm a little curious anyway.

thanks, john.
