Re: 35 Super Eight camshaft.

P/N 215647 was used on the Super Eight from 1934 thru 1936; 1933 used 270605, 32 and earlier used 170021. It's a forging, not a casting. The only difference cited in the Service Letters with the introduction of the 270605 is to increase the exhaust valve clearance from 0.004" to 0.006". It's been a long time since I looked at one out of the engine but most likely the # is somewhere along the shaft between lobes. Perhaps removing all the rocker arms would allow it to be seen. It's a bit of a chore but the rocker arms and levers can be removed and reinstalled without removing the valves and springs.
