Got it, so if the manufacturer recommends 108 lob center line but dot to dot comes to around 118, changing the keyway to the max Retarded mark (this being 8R) on the crankshaft is indeed the correct route?

That still only got me to 109 lobe center. If I am reading correctly, smaller blocks like mine may benefit more on the lower side of the recommended 108 instead of the higher side. My 8R keyway is the max for this timing set. Couldn't I just turn the camshaft gear a tooth over so the marks don't line up but advances it further to my preference?
