Newly acquired 454 cam question
I recently acquired a '59 Chevy Apache with a 454 Big Block. The previous owner didn't have the specifics of which Cam was installed so I'm struggling with getting this tuned without that info. It's been years since I tweaked engines myself but seem to recall a trick to determine the Cam lobe by doing a vacuum test on the spark plug cylinder.
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for where I can go to get the best resource material for this?
Thanks!
The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
