Take the time and degree the cam you'll be happier in the long run. my cam 
came wrong (well actually it was the timing gears) and if i had set it up 
straight up it would have been retarded 2 degrees. the advanced mark put it 
about 2 , almost 3 degreees advanced. part of degreeing is finding out where 
the actual centerline is, not where it should be.... It only takes a little 
while, but i suggest you do it 3 or more times to check your work. It isn't 
totally necessary for a street/stock engine but if you want to maximize your 
performance potential it is a must. I believe the cam dot and crank dots 
should be as close to each other as possable in a straight linecam at 6:00 
and crank at 12:00.
