How to determine........

Hey all. Just me again with a couple good ones.

1) My 305 TPI is cammed. Not sure specs as I have no cam card to go off. I was wondering if there is an easy way to measure something that will let me know some or all the specs on the cam?
2) 1989 TPI car. Is there a MAP sensor? If so, where is it located? How could I determine if it's bad?


Thanks for the replies. Rebuilding this car is going to be a pleasure. I'm sure I will be able to attribute some of that pleasure to you all..........

Later,

Chris

No, really!:hail:

1.) There is no way to know ALL of the specs without yanking the cam.
2.) i think youre car would be MAF. Not 100% sure.

Is there something WRONG with the car that you think the MAF/MAP sensor is bad?

You could degree the cam, but you would have to disassemble much of the engine lol.

Yeah, that would be too much. I guess I'll just have to figure slightly over stock figures as the car does not lope badly at all. I will try and get these codes to go bye bye and continue from there.
