What is a “2nd design” cam? I am building a correct ZL1 for a 69 Camaro tribute project.

The and design cam is the 180. The 5535 was the first design used with the early heads.

I drove one on the street for years, they don't idle below 1500 RPM, and and nothing until 3800 or so.

The real purpose is to build the ZL1 for my collection and not really intending to drive it much.

That is what was stamped on the end of my ZL1 cam as well

Yea, I am guessing this is an L88 cam that was written with the wrong part number. The guy is going to measure the lobes to see what the measurements come out to.
