The Blower Drive Service Timing Pointer Degree Wheel Kit is built for engine builders working on small block Chevy combinations who need accurate cam timing and top dead center readings. This kit pairs a degree wheel with a bolt-on timing pointer sized for the small block Chevy crank, giving you a fixed reference against the wheel during assembly. It's the kind of tool that earns its place on the bench during a fresh build or a cam swap, where guesswork on valve events isn't an option. Anyone degreeing a camshaft for the first time will find this a straightforward way to confirm centerline and intake opening figures.
The pointer mounts to a small block Chevy front cover or timing cover bolt location and reaches to a 6.375 inch radius, which keeps the tip riding close to the outer edge of the degree wheel for tighter readings. The degree wheel itself is graduated around the full 360 degrees so you can track intake and exhaust events through a complete cycle. Used with a piston stop, the kit lets you split the difference between two crank positions to nail down true top dead center before you ever check a single lobe. Pair it with a dial indicator on the lifter or retainer and you have the full setup for degreeing a cam to the cam card spec. The CH-3199KS combination removes the fumbling that comes with mismatched wheel-and-pointer pieces.
Reach for this kit any time you install a new camshaft, advance or retard timing to chase a power curve, or verify a machine shop's work before final assembly. It's a core part of a serious engine builder's tool drawer alongside a crank socket for turning the engine over by hand and a oil pump primer for pre-lube before first fire. Builders running a dedicated assembly bench will get repeated use out of it across multiple short blocks. Browse our full lineup of engine building tools to round out the rest of your setup.
This kit is set up for small block Chevy engines. The timing pointer is sized to mount at the small block Chevy front cover bolt location, and the pointer reaches a 6.375 inch radius to sit close to the degree wheel edge for accurate readings.
The pointer tip reaches a 6.375 inch radius. That distance keeps the tip near the outer markings on the degree wheel, where the graduations are spread wider and easier to read down to a fraction of a degree.
Yes. To degree a cam you also need a piston stop to find top dead center and a dial indicator to measure lifter or valve lift. Many builders add a crank socket to turn the engine over smoothly by hand during the process.
Timing marks and keyways carry tolerance stack-up that can shift cam timing several degrees from the cam card spec. Degreeing the cam with this wheel and pointer confirms the intake centerline and valve events so the camshaft performs exactly as ground.
