I could use a little advice from Pat or Richard or Dave or any other of the knowledgeable engine guys who make their presence known on this forum.

I have a degree wheel hanging on a nail in my little shop that I have owned for probably thirty years. I have never tried to use it, even when we were running our modified roadster.

With the server down and the temperature outside at a brisk fifteen degrees, and with nothing else to do, I decided to try to degree in the mid-range cam in my yet unstarted '76 Cadillac (500ci) engine. After tinkering for a while I have decided to ask for help before I mess around and do something dumb or expensive, or both.

Can somebody advise me on this procedure?

Thanks -

Jim
