What Cam do I have?

Bobby L · 09-08-2004, 11:05 PM

I just pulled my cam and I don't know how to identify it. The previous owner did not know what it was, but said it was a performance cam. It has "ZE- -" stamped between the distributor gear drive and the first lobe. On the back of the cam is stamped "1016"
Anyone know of this cam or can give me any insight in how to figure out what it is?

Thanks,
Bobby

There should be a manufacturer's name and grind number on the end of the camshaft. 1016 sounds like it might be a grind number. Probably is, I just don't recognize it.

No clue on it.. Isn't the ZE a ford code though?

I took pics of the camshaft. The only markings are the ones in the pics. The end of the camshaft where the hole is appears to be a "123" It might be a "F23" Can't tell. Then there is the 1016. Hope you guys can give me some insight here.
