"Thanks for the info.
Wasn't sure about 109 vs 111 so thanks Cliff.
109 it is
Just for the hell of it, I may check degree now with the old setup just to see how much retard I have.... "

You are welcome. Hope it helps and looking forward to the results. I will note here that even clear back at 113ICL my engine still ran fine and not stumble/hesitation/bog or any negatives for "normal" driving. It did loose 2" vacuum at idle speed compared to 109ICL and felt a little "flat" right off idle and at low RPM's.

I'd also add that it did NOT pull hard at high RPM's as one would thing we'd see from retarding a cam vs advancing it. So basically the car slowed down everyplace in both ET and MPH at 107ICL and at 113ICL. Something to consider when you see someone come on here and tell you to advance your cam for more low end torque, or retard it for more high RPM power........FWIW......
