Mopar Cam 284/484 or 288/497

It's a trick sometimes required when using the wrong cam. At least in my opinion. I don't think cylinder pressure will be a concern with those camshafts... Nor will valve to piston clearance. The last MP cam I installed needed 8 degrees advance just to get it to the recommended ICL. It was made horribly. So degreeing it is a "must" anyway. Just have keyways handy for the cam and crank in case you have to move it a mile.
