Hello,
I have a question about using a degree wheel. I followed all the steps to degree the cam in my 1994 Ford 347 stroker and the intake valve is opening when the cam card says it should (3.0 BTDC) but its closing at a totally wrong number (I think it was 150 degrees instead of 38 ABDC) The exhaust valve is closing right when it should ( 4.0 BTDC) but is opening at a totally wrong number (130 instead of 49 BBDC). I am not sure what to do. Intake opens when it should, exhaust closes when it should, do I need to figure out why the other numbers are wrong? I already checked the part numbers and they are correct.

I solved this mystery. Turns out you have to subtract 180 degrees from the number I was getting. The 180 mark represents bottom dead center.
