Mind if we take the cam out to check and prove it once and for all?

Hehehehehehe,
That will never happen.

Cool, post up some pictures.

86capriasc, can we get some pictures of the cam? Are there any stripes or color dawbs on it anywhere?

I didn't notice any other marking on the cam. But remember the motor had 100k on it so anything that was on was probably worn off.

I also wonder if there was any issues with these cams, that maybe the original owners may have had them replaced.

Well, considering a brand new 86 wouldn't run right with a B303 cam, I'd say...yeah, I can see people walking back into the dealer demanding the car be fixed and the CAM swapped back out...if the dealer understood the real reason why

I'm thinking that mine is not a B303 by looking at it. I have looked at other pics were there is a m6250 stamped into the end. Mine does not have that. Maybe being installed at asc or ford they didn't have that stamping though. You can see the drawing off the stampings in my album.

Can you get a picture of the cam to see the lobes and such?

Just uploaded three pics to my album.

What's that dab of red on the end?

Not sure. That may have been there when taken out.

Do you have a caliper? Can you measure one of the lobes from heel to toe?

I have a B303 (2 actually) and can do the same measurement. This would tell us if the lift is the same.

Mike do you have any paint color on your B303 cams?

I will take it over to a buddies house tonight and have him measure it.
