Just like the title says. I pulled the cam out of my 351W tonight to find out what it is... The only things is says is Crower b-288-H and then on the other end it has the number 15600. I cant find this cam for the life of me! Need specs.

The best way to know for sure is to slide that bump stick back in, put a degree wheel on the bad boy, set up a dial indicator and measure peak lift, LSA, durations at .006" lift and .050" lift, and the actual valve timing events. Even if you have a model number, the possibility always exists that someone had the cam reground using that as a core - unless you bought it new. But that's unlikely - or you'd probably have the data you seek.

The guy that had it bought it new. It's been in the motor for 10 years not running. Motor has maybe 10,000 on it since rebuild about 14 years ago

You'll need 'em to degree one, and they can be used to check p to v. You can get inexpensive versions of degree wheel, indicator and magnetic stand for less than $50 total. Especially with a cam that old - I think you'll be hard pressed to get reliable data on the specs; measuring it is really the only way to be certain about what you've got. And - you'll learn so much about how things actually work in that department.

From the looks of it, It is not something I want to put back in the motor.
