Well after checking..rechecking..rerechecking.....everything I came up with the following

1st time through:

.050" 59.0 150.0 209.0 104.5*
.060" 64.0 145.0 209.0 104.5*
.050" 59.0 150.0 209.0 104.5*

I went back and double check TDC on the degree wheel and made a slight tweek.

2nd time through:

.050" 60.0 151.0 211.0 105.5*
.060" 65.0 146.0 211.0 105.5*
.040" 55.5 155.5 211.0 105.5*

Needless to say I am a little disappointed. I was hoping to see a 108*. Should I ever bother advancing it the few degrees to 102 or 103, or should I just leave it alone? I do not have the water pump or timing chain cover off yet so I have to decide if I want to go any further into it or not.

I am using the 7" mopar degree wheel so I guess there may be a little margin of error because it is so small. The 11" wheel I have won't clear the K-frame down below so I can't use it.
