I have found the next number is the custom grind number. And if they got rid of all that information when holley bought I am out of luck. Thanks everyone for the input.

Good evening Paul and to all,
When in doubt, see if someone in your area has a Cam Doctor or something like that and they can spin it for you and you'll get lift, duration and opening and closing ramp speed numbers. The Cam Dr. cant do lobe centers, but if you think its usable then stick it in a block with a crank and one rod and piston and figure the Lobe Separation numbers with a degree wheel and a dial indicator.
Good luck with your new pieces.
