Can I tell what my truck has without pulling the cam?
If not, what's it likely to be, small or large, forged or cast?
Thanks

The easiest way to tell is to pull the distributor and look at the drive gear on the cam. Early cams have a 1/2" wide approximately gear and a late cam has a 5/8" approximately wide gear.
