Tom,
Regardless of any advance/retard ground into cams or similar with timing
chain index points, it is always best to degree in a cam. It helps take the
mystery out of the "variables." Although..., when chains stretch, and valve
lash clearances get altered it kind of throws out the "spot on" aspects.
FYI, I indexed and then measured actual values on a PAW clone of an
Edelbrock cam. This is what I got:
Spec-ed 204/.420, - actually measured 208-210/.424 The ramp was so slow
that the extra degrees likely didn't matter.
Regards, (another) Tom
