Is that a train coming from the right hand side and the light is green
You're no fun.
Across the street, partially obstructed by the trees is a Federal, model 5, "birdhouse"-style, civil air raid siren. #222 of 225 within L.A. City limits. Originally used during WWII, but this one is more likely a cold war era siren. They were test sounded at 10am on the last Friday of every month. As a grade-schooler, we were to duck and cover at the sound of the siren.

Too dusty to pull the valve covers. I can't get the truck in the garage.Go adjust yer valves
.012"Go adjust yer valves
Amazing camshaft in this engine. Over 500 ft. lbs. of torque. Shifts at 6,000. Sounds like a symphony.

Pretty snug lash isnt it ? you running rollers or flat tappet ?
I used to run the old Duntov 30-30 cams in small block chevy ..................... I loved those things but I imagine there are lots better options now. the duntov lashed out at .030
That siren looks massive...What do you see out of the ordinary in this photo?

Generally, cam card specs are listed @.050 tappet lift. This measure will be lower than "advertised" duration.
This cam stuff is a bit over my head. The engine builder that ported my heads, custom ground my cam based on the rest of the components in my engine, my vehicle and the intended use of my vehicle.
This explains it way better than I ever could----> http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/113-9604-choosing-the-right-camshaft/

Im more used to duration numbers in the 280 range, thats the advertised number like you said
Cam manufacturers list their "advertised" duration differently. Some use @.004 cam lift, some use @.006 cam lift.
At .004" my cam would have 288/323 duration.
I think they use @.050 because it also gives an indication of lobe profile.
If everyone understood cams, we'd all be master engine builders
