Edit: The grind and specs should be stamped on the cam gear surface. They sound like Titans (Minus Minus). Intake lift is different however.

They are vintage, and they must be titans because they are stamped minus minus.

Back in their day(late 60s-early 70s), Sifton Minus-Minus was the answer for everthing for drag racing with bigger inch engines and higher compression (11-12 to one), they were used with gas and fuel ( that is what we had in our fuel drag 77 incher) never saw any in smaller gas engines, I was told to use the PBs in my 11 to 1 street motor (77 cu in) I did and I was delighted with it (once I got it STARTED !). I was told that you lost a lot of low end with the Siftons. Could not tell that with the high gear only fueler.
