It is built into the grind of the cam, so you don't have to degree the cam when you install it. Some cams have no advance built into the cam and you have to degree the cam to the cam card for recommended installation. If you degree a cam that already has the advance ground into it, 99.9% chance it is at the correct degree. This is what I have found on my many motors. But don't listen to me, go to comp or lunati and take their word for it.
