After more research, I know that the #'s I posted was the cam gear #. So is there any relationship of the cam gear # to a certain cam application?

No. These cam gears all have different radius cuts to handle various dimensional differences between crankshaft and camshaft centerlines. The different cuts are noted with the pitch numbers always found on the backside of the outer circumference of the gear itself. In the good ol' days you could find a +7 down to 0 and down further to -7.

You wont find them between lobes. Lobes are for camshaft billets. Between the gear teeth, perhaps, but usually just under the teeth profiles at the outer circumference of the gear itself.
