All i have is for an '85, but i'm sure all the others are very similar.

85 Cam Specs:

Opening 17 BTDC / 67 BBDC
Closing 69 ABDC / 19 ATDC
Duration 266 / 266

Overlap 36 degrees
Lobe/valve lift 278/444 in.
Part # E5ZE-6250-AA

The best way to judge duration is at .050" lift. Stock cams vary considerably in duration at .050" lift - the general envelope is 204~212 degrees. You won't know what you have until you actually measure one. Factory Stock used to limit cams to actual factory cams, so some suppliers have cam doctored (measured) a bunch of them and supplied the above envelope. F/S now allows ground cams to factory stock specs.
