    If someone doesn't come up with the numbers, you could call Isky. I bet they know. Or find a local cam gringer or some shop with a Cam Doctor that will plot the cam for you.

    I have found out that is a grind number that was used in several motors.... Chevy Ford and Mopar. But have not dug up any specs on it. Still searching !!

    A sharp guy could plot his cam with a degree wheel and a dial indicator. You can still call Isky. It's kind of like when I got a 505C for my Packard V8. In typical Isky fashion, a 505 is a 505. No matter what engine it's ground for. .505 lift. If it has no letter its 300 degree duration. "B" model 310. My "C" was 320 degrees. Same master used for a Packard, Olds, Lincoln. Didn't matter

    I had an Ed Pink 331 Chrysler in a gas dragster with an Isky 7000 T. Mine was not a roller. Lippy
     
  7. 4 of my old Isky catologs that reference the cam all say the same thing

    "Timing supplied with camshaft"

    No specs given.

    It apparently was a common denominator grind as it was referenced to be used in a coupla different engine series by different manufactors.

    May have to calculate it in the engine if a call Isky dosent get you anywhere.

    I would guess that the 7000 would be an RPM number BUT thats a heavy chunk of old iron to be spinning around.
