I finally got the cam dialed in. as close as I could get it anyway.
I had to advance it 8 deg on the crank., No more adjustment with the timing chain unless i use offset bushings I guess...
I'm using A JP Performance Double Roller Timing Chain 5606T

The #1 intake is now at 106 deg center-line.
intake opening @ .050 is at 26 deg btdc

I was surprised I had to advance it 8 deg... I even triple checked my method...

I verified TDC of the piston with a piston stop and dial indicator,The piston was roughly 1/2" down in he hole for this.

I used the center-line method @ .50 on the cam and also verified lifter opening @.050 using a dial indicator

This isn't my 1st cam install.... but it is the first one I used a degree wheel on

The picture is the intake lobe opening @ .050 on the degree wheel
