Identifying cam shaft?
« on: July 23, 2008 - 06:55:55 PM »
I have what I think is a Mopar purple cam but am trying to identify exactly what it is.What if any numbers are there on the cam to tell which one it is?There is one stamped on the end but I can`t cross reference it,the cam has a .509 lift and I think it`s either P4120237 or P5007698.

gotta micrometer? measure the lobes, multiply by 1.5 to get valve lift

Already stated it`s a .509 lift,now I need to figure out which profile as there is more than one.
