    Does anyone know any addtional cam specs such Duration at 0.050" lift or its usage like 3/4, full race, etc. on this cam? Does anyone know who made Weber cams or is it the same company that made Weber Carburetors?

    Here's what I think I know:

    Weber F4
    282°/282° Adv. Dur. (I/E)
    0.340"/0.340" Lift (I/E)
    0.014"/0.016" Lash

    Those are the same specs I've got for the F4 - none of the old cam companies used duration at .050", so you'll need it mapped if you want to know - might be able to get pretty close with just a dial indicator & degree wheel though.

    No other info - Weber made flywheels & clutches back in the day too - I'm honestly not sure if it's the same company as what made the carbs.

    Not the same as the carb company. Weber cams (WebCams) is still in business in CA, but no longer grinds flathead cams.

    The F-4 grind is a great cam and pulls hard and throughout the RPM's. Run the piss out of it.
