How can I id my camshaft..?

383 with a Torker intake so I guess cam is not stock..

Found these stampings: SCH 58   ???

If you can't get response to those numbers, "SCH 58", you may wish to measure the peak lift on the lobe, then the base circle, with some vernier calipers.
Subtract the base circle from the peak, then multiply by 1.5 for the rocker ratio, will give you a ball park for the lift on the cam.
To find duration is more involved and requires V-blocks, dial indicator, and a degree wheel.

Anybody know the SCH 58   ??

Bump ?
