Cam degree kit.
Love it and the price. The only complaint I have is that you don't get any Jegs stickers with Jegs items. Would love to have a couple to put on my truck.

Great for setting my cam adjustable gear
The only problem I had was the four bolt stands (There are two aluminum perches for the dial indicator each one has two different bolt ends to screw into timing cover) have a metric end and I couldn’t utilize them but I may do.2.0LDOHC mopar

good kit
I used this kit on my 440 Dodge engine and it worked perfect. I am now putting together a Plymouth 340, I will use it to degree that cam in that engine. Very nice kit, I would recommend it. The only problem was on the flat bar to find top dead center, that part is a lot too weak.

The Jeg’s Cam Degree Kit # 81621 looks excellent. However, I’m NOT building a SBC. My superior engine of choice is a 351 Cleveland with a solid roller cam. In a GM biased aftermarket, very few items are 351C compatible. Will this kit work with a 351C ?
This is a universal fit tool and will work on your application.
