camshaft question

I know on some 87 305 and 350s they went to a billet camshaft. How can I tell what kind of cam is in mine because I dont want to put the wrong distributor gear on it and have it chewed up by the cam.

They are roller, but they aren't billet from the factory.

Any distributor or gear you buy new would be compatible with the stock cam.

Re: camshaft question

I forgot what the size is if you have a small cap dizzy but getting one from gm is not that expensive and you will have the right one

I think I went through 2-3 before going to the chevy dealer
