Cam Size?
I purchased a '72 Cutlass Supreme with a rebuilt '69 350. There's no cam card in the paperwork I have.
Is there anyway to find out what size the cam is without pulling it out?

An easier way is to just loosen an Intake and exhaust rocker. Put a dial indicator on the top of the pushrod. Without a load on it it'll pretty much show the true lift.
Then if you want you can put a degree wheel on it and measure the duration. Don't worry about finding tdc as you're not degreeing it.
