Does anyone know what the lift is on a factory camshaft for a 1966 289 c code?

Not sure but if your looking for a cam, you'll be very happy with a comp 268h.

You can purchase the lifters and cam as a package. You'll need to replace lifters with any cam change. Like Duncan said, they are matched sets. The only 289 I'm aware of that came with factory solid lifters is the hipo k code 289. As for your car, your going to have hydraulic. On the 268h (h stands for hydraulic).

A stock C code cam was 380 exh lift, 360 int lift and 244 exh and 266 int duration. Pretty small cam, but given all C code heads were press in studs, it's not surprising it's got such low lift specs.
