Go to this site for a partial answer:

Maybe the length (width) of the rear will give you a clue. I note that I do not see the rear that I have on this list (a 1974 Maverick) so the list is not complete. Obviously the ratio is a 2.79:1 rear which apparently was common in the early 1970s when the gas crunch occurred, but I can't answer further.

I won't agree or disagree on your opinion of comp cams, but when I put a new cam in the 350 in my 76 Vette I went with Howard's and have not been disappointed. With the junk coming out of China these...
