440 cam installation

[icetech]

This video convinced me to degree my cam when i put it in.. it was off by 6 degrees... (i checked it like 5 times starting from scratch.. shocked it was that far off)

Worst I had seen was 15 degrees off when dot-to-dot, and it was not a tooth off. That was on an Oldsmobile 455 with unknown brand timing chain and cam?
Haven't seen a Mopar off that bad.
I have had good timing results with the 440 Source 9-way timing sets and Comp cams usually being correct (within a degree) when installed dot-to-dot.

Crazy.. i actually emailed howards and was like.. is this normal? "Just put in at 103 like it says" ok.....

I have everything I need to degree it in so I will check it.

My 58 Belvedere would only do 108. It had the 318. What did this one have?
