the cams should have a part number on the distrubutor side, call skunk 2. get the part numer from the, take off the valve cover and remove the cam cap, you should be able to see it.

Compression test won't tell you if you have je pistons. Take the cylinder head off and you'll know.

compression test will tell you if the compression is lower across all four cyl just make sure that the compression is even with all 4 cyl you could use a bore-a-scope witch will allow you to look down in the cyl through the spark plug hole and some aftermarket pistons have the part num on the top of the piston and you can read it off of it and call and check other than that you will have to take it apart and find out
