2A 34+14+180 = 228/2=114
4A = 129
6A = 124
8A =125
2R =117.5
4R =120
6R =121.5
8R =124
Do any of these #s look anywhere close to what they should be?
thanks for anyones help.
I'm sorry to say, but your figures don't compute.
For instance, the right hand column, (I'll assume inlet peak) doesn't increment at the same rate as the advance keyway rate, it does seem to on the retard side.

How about you post your cam card specs and we'll tell you where to put it?

For me, if a cam is ground "straight up", I advance it by 2 degrees to pick up a little low speed torque. It also allows for chain stretch for the life of the engine until the next freshenup.
