Going with a typical timing chain and gear.....when the "dots" point to eachother is where MOST refer to as "straight up". That is all wonderful and fine but without actually degree'ing in the camshaft that is a MOOT conversation. You either degree it in and know or you pot shot it and guess?
Will it run? = YES
Will advancing 4 degrees from WHERE IT USED TO BE bring the power band lower in the RPM? Who knows as you do not really know where it was. If it was already in at 106 and you move it 4 degrees --> 102* degrees CL....probably going to LOSE power EVERYWHERE but yes it will run.

We put the dots at 12 o'clock each first, that is straight up as Melling would have me install the gears. Melling took all the guess work out of the installation. Then we set the advance at 8 degrees at the crank and that is equal to 4 degrees at the cam. Am I wrong in my thinking? Please be advised I am learning here, so if I am wrong correct me please. We have not started the engine yet and won't until we are sure what to do. I have no experience in degreeing cams but I have seen the procedure on videos, just need to buy the tool wheel set up.
