Terry, I've seen guys "degree" cams incorrectly by using the degree wheel and math incorrectly that winds up measuring the lobe center of the camshaft rather than the relative position of the cam lobe to the crankshaft. No matter how advanced or retarded the cam is installed the cam lobe center does not change. When you degree the cam in degree BOTH intake and exhaust and mark the degree wheel with whiteout and you'll easily see the BTDC and the ATDC positions and I'll think you'll see what I mean. Good Luck...
