Hi
Hoping some one can help identify the two camshafts I have, both came out of 186 engines.

1. First one has STL 1635 (the 6 could be something else), with a big 8 stamped on the end. and no other stamps of marks on the shaft.

2. Second has 0 and 6 (or 9) stamped on the end. It once had I believe Holden stamped into the shaft and a number starting with 1.

The second one is a 202 cam what the ident is i unknown ...the first may be a Waggot cam or Author Johnson and that would make the number a Master number

The first one could be a worked cam, the numbers could be the grind. May be ring or take it to a cam specialist, they would be able to set you straight.
