    Can anyone ID this Cam? In a 455 older build. Called TA Performance but they said their cams were stamped with full part number.

    Thanks!

    How old is that cam? I Wouldn't be surprised that's one of there early cams clearly says Ta 118 on it.

    That has to be a TA118 cam, based on the Kenne Belle 118.

    The cam is installed in an older build that I got from an engine builder in Georgia....not many miles on it. 1972 block and Stage1 iron heads, Poston S-divider intake. Ran on the dyno and had 463 ftlbs and 417 hp. Swapped out a 350 in a 71 Skylark.
    Trying to figure out how to modify my existing 750 CFM carb to make the engine happier.

    Find yourself a 71 through 73 800 CFM Quadra jet contact Ken at every day performance he's a board member here on the board I'm sure he could set your carburetor up correctly for your combination.
