cam specs for a weber 535H

[ps2375]

where to find the specs of this cam? I don't plan on changing it, I would just like to know what it is and how it compares to other cams.

Didn't Weber change their name to Web Camshafts?

I Googled it for you out of my own curiosity.
Confirmed

Give Web-cam a call for your cam card.

Thanks, I suppose I'll have to give them a call, as they don't appear to show an e-mail on their homepage. Thanks

Update:

Web-cam gave me some specs and also said this is and "old" grind and that it is "no longer one of theirs", not sure what that means.
They came up with .374" lift and dur of 286*@.020" or 264*@.050" and that it was for 1.25 ratio rockers (motor has either 1.4's or poss 1.5's, as my father bought the rockers in early to mid-80's in anticipation for this motor build).

Although when I measure the lobe with calipers, I only get .310" lift. But, was told that "you lose some lift measuring that way". I've never heard that before.

Talked with Bernie Bergmann, he is very keen to get his hands on this case(which he did the machine work on for the hydro lifters back in the 80's) as the newer cases he gets don't seem to have the lifter bores in exactly the "correct" location. And since this motor was driven about 50K miles with them before it was parked, this is a "proven case" and he wants to have his new CNC mill map the lifter bore holes in the case and he also wants to run the cam thru a cam doctor to copy it also. Which right now I have the time to do. The guy is really passionate about the hydro lifter conversion, and from what my dad tells me, there is no reason not to be. The car ran flawlessly and would go from idle to 7000rpm without an issue. Really looking forward to getting it back on the road!

Who knows, I might even get the specs for the cam from him.

Bernie Bergman? Really?

You might want to partake in a little Googling to see why Bernies really in Oklahoma now, rather than doing business in California.
Preferably before shipping the parts off.

He does talk a great yarn.

Looks like he is back in cali, but.....2nd thoughts abound.

I guess he somehow managed to get his California business license back.
He was just up the road from me in OK.

Here's his vendor feedback thread on TOS:
