Have you tried a different timing set? Leave degree wheel where its at and try #6 cylinder and see what you get! I don't know about you but this would drive me crazy good luck.........Shawn

I had a problem with a timing chain on a friend's 360 last summer.We kept getting a reading of 130 for a centerline, tried another chain and got 106.

Terry, any update? Just wondering what you may have found. Unsolved mysteries really attract my attention. Just a note you can download the instruction to degree a cam off Comp. cams site, not that you're doing it wrong but it never hurts to reread the instructions. Good luck. Joe

Have tried everything everybody has suggested with no results. I am degreeing exactly the way comp cams talks about. I have comp cams 4-7cam does that have to be degreed differently. I know I am getting tired of not getting this, been working on this for 2 weeks. I could have had my motor running by now.

Terry,
I would suggest you get another set of eyeballs to watch what you are doing. For some reason I remember having a similar problem a few years ago after a very long day. I dont remember what I was doing wrong but after a good nights rest it was a definite "DOH" the next morning. I am almost positive it was something I was doing wrong adding and subtracting numbers.
