Default PLease HELP!, Need help with these cams...

Does anyone know where I can get my cams dr'd in the chicago land area?

They both are GM cams but the person who gave them to me forgot which one was which!!! There are no engravings on the side cause they are GM.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!

thanks

the first cam has these numbers on the end of it, no engravings:
1721
S 17
1248
just like that on the end with like a square that looks like "checker board inside the square", or like a "crossword puzzle" like.which GM cams have right?

The second has no marks on the sides but has like a "blue marks" between the lobes and also in between the lobes are some very small numbers engraved in there. I believe they read:
10:516
@8002
just like that.

All help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Can't you just take a micrometer to a cam? Measure the journals at no lift and full lift and subtract the 2 then multiply by 1.7? I would think that would get you lift of a cam. Correct me if I am wrong.

The cams are not in a motor, and you cant just measure the lobes with a micrometer, its a lil more complicated!
