Even so what do I do with that information? The cam card says install at 109 ICL. Is that so when you install the timing set strait up it will install at 105 and then chain stretch would get it closer to 109?

PS: no worries you did a good job on degree it in.

Thanks for that although it may be undeserved.
I would tend to agree with ya, however I got the same number as the machine shop with 150 closing.
The question still remains should I re-set the crank sprocket to 0? The cam is current a few deg ret as measured. Seems like I would be better off a few deg advanced.
