Wrong CAM! ? I got my 212/218 comp cam in, .522/.529 lift, anyway
it was an ebay auction i won, he said its new in box, when i opened it...
It look used? I contacted the seller and he said he never opened it, so i called comp up to ask them about the serial number on the cam and it does not match anything that they have, so its not a comp cam.
The seller will take a refund, but i wanted to ask if any if you guys have a 212/218 cam to compare with mine. on the back of the camshaft it has the number:
0965
4 13
8121
so im pretty sure ill send it back to him and get a refund.

Well, if he'll do a refund- then obviously he isn't a bad guy as long as that goes through smoothly. He probably got scammed himself and didn't know the difference. Lots of people sell car parts they don't know jack about.

and beyond put the cam on a cam doctor theres no way to tell what it is. cams are not something that should be bought "new" without a cam card, verified serial number, or any other identifying marks.

I'm sure your not going to get stuck with the cam. Most people are pretty good on ebay. They might have sent out the wrong cam too. Even some perfomance shops screw up and send out the wrong cam sometimes.

He refunded me my money.
He never denied trying to rip me off, but i thanked him anyway for paypaling me my money back, + 14.95 to ship the cam back.
Phewww.. close one batman.
