You can determive the cam you have now by measuring the in and ex cam lobe lift.

GM used two factory cams and 2 off road service cams for the Z/28 LT-1 motors.

early 70 LT-1s had the duntov 30-30 cam "346" cam 254-254-.485-.485 114LSA

later 71 and 72 LT-1s had a upgraded cam with less intake duration and wider LSA for smoother idle/more low end w auto trans. 242-254 .459-.485 116lsa .024"-.028"

First design off road "140" cam 257-269 .494-.512 .024-.026 112lsa

second design is a biggy 262-273 .518-.536 112lsa.

Measure the lobe lift and x 1.5 for valve lift.

all the cam companies and GMPP sell new replacements for these original cams.
