Couple weeks ago I bought a box of parts from another 420a owner for a couple hundred bucks. In the box was an intercooler, piping, Greddy boost controller, ported head, and a couple sets of cams. My problem is I don't remember what size cams he said they were. I do remember he said one of the sets was aftermarket, and one was stock size. If i posted a picture of them does anyone think they could identify them as aftermarket or not?

Also, how would i measure the size of the cams to tell if they are stock size or not?
 
Post pictures of the ends where the cam gear mounts. Part numbers should be seen there. Google the numbers and I am sure you will find out what they are. There are few N/T Eclipse cam manufacturers so it is likely you can find out yourself with the power of Google.

Additionally if you are interested in measuring them yourself get a micrometer and compare the findings to advertised specs of available camshafts. Keep in mind that you need to realize that some valve lift measurements by manufacturers are accounting for valve lift (including rocker/follower multiplication) and may list the lobe lift separately.
 
Posting pics will only help. Measure the cam height. Anything stamped on them?
 
I'll have pics up in a couple hours for those of you who want to check them out on your own. I dont remember seeing anything stamped on them, but i haven't looked at them in awhile. For some reason the number 272 keeps coming up in my head when trying to remember what the guy told me when i bought them.

Here are some pictures of the cams. The only numbers i could find on them are ABX 676 on the middle picture, and ABX 674 on the bottom picture.

Heh heh, not the happiest looking cams :coy:. Look on the ends of the cams. Pull the gear off the other set and look at the ends.

Yea, I gotta clean em' up pretty good before I even consider using them. I pulled off the cam gears and found nothing. I did find some more raised numbers on them tho. 7 1928 C on one set and 68 2265 C on the other. Any idea what those mean? I tried to use Google but couldn't anything specific.
 
stock cams.... I just looked at my stockers and they have the ABX on it.. I have bought both crane and crower cams for 420a.. Crane puts grind numbers on end the gear doesn't go on.. and crower puts the there marks on the rough part kinda like where abx is on that cam

p.s. who would pay 500 for cams and let them rust LOL..
