Narrative:
Upon departure began to climb off end of runway. PF unsure of assigned heading and attempted to check with PNF. PNF said heading which did not seem to match departure. Some questioning went on about this and both pilots looked at departure. At this time climb to altitude was amended from 23,000 to 10,000. Still distracted by conflicting heading and departure information, we tried to verify heading with departure and were unable due to faulty microphone of PNF. PF had to make radio call and flew through altitude. Departure reassigned altitude and heading. Company paperwork was received with cavet-1 departure and was programmed in FMS by PNF. PF received clearance and was given san francisco 3 departure which was not put in the FMS. Departure clearance should have been discussed more thoroughly on the takeoff briefing.
