No degree wheel? No dial indicator? No feeler gauge? No problem!

In this episode we try installing a timing set and discover that the factory grind on a 5.9 Magnum camshaft is pretty terrible for a carbureted motor. I'm not convinced it's great for fuel injection either. learn how to degree your cam with nothing but a straight edge and as a bonus, see how I end up advancing the camshaft timing a full 10 degrees.
