Re: Degree cam

Tim and Chris,
    I degreed my cam in my hypo 289 a few years back and I was amazed by the 
inaccuracy of the crankshaft, so I used an average crankshaft TDC to go from. 
 When I tried to set the cam to the cam grinder's specs, I couldn't get it 
close.  I finally determined the aftermarket non-name-brand timing set had 
its keyways miscut by 7 degrees (14 crank degrees) putting my cam in 
"funny-car-territory"!  I bought a name brand set, and it was spot-on.
