One way is to use micrometer or calipers and measure the base circle of cam (note measurement)

Next measure the tip of lobe, to the bottom of the base.

Subtract the base number from the tip of lobe number, then multiply by 1.5.

Compare to this chart,

Might want to measure an exhaust and an intake lobe.

Here is a better link with more useful info on purple shafts.
