Can someone out there give me the specs on a GF 266 cam as compared with a Wade 104.

Much appreciated.

Tighe 104 is same as a Wade 104.

click on BMC A series

I found the 104's valve lift was less than stated. It was only around .318" with stock 1098 rockers. So I put 1.5s on it.
Cam wasn't brand new, had done 10,000km but still looked new.

Graham's 266SS has less advertised duration, but much more @ .050" lift. I'm sure he'll put some numbers up, soonish. :)

Thanks Doc, much appreciated. And yes, GR is on to it with an email. I intend to spend quite a few bucks on the motor rebuild.
