Bulldog cam problem
Hello,can anyone help with info on the cam for my Bulldog,the cam I have is a crane cam that was bought some years ago,don't have the original anymore. the problem is when its in place with the sprocket bolted on, the lobes are so far out of line that they are close to touching the adjacent lifter, the number on the cam(although very hard to read)is I think H240329 134802 the casting number for the engine block is GM 14044807.
MANY THANKS FOR ANY HELP WITH THIS.
