first- what was it in ? as for the white dots anyone could have put them there.can you tell me more, as it is not easy to find out info. on parts like that.

Answer
Rick
 I looked at a few places and that cam is not a chevy brand or a crane ,etc. if I were you I would get a new chevy 327 fuely cam solid lifters or a equ. to it.. it will make that engine run good with what you have in it now. you will have to adj. the valves every once and a while at 12. and 18. but it will run real good.and yes the cam for the 327 will fit your 350..
