If you really want to know what you have, get out a dial indicator, a couple of rocker arms, and a degree wheel and measure them. The short cut would be to use a cam carrier and a rocker arm and measure valve lift, then compare to a chart of the race cams. But even then, you still wouldn't know the duration without using a degree wheel.

Or, if you happen to know an automotive machinist with a "cam doctor," he can put them in some V-blocks and tell you what you have.

The cast number are just a number for the blanks before grinding.
