What happens if you install a cam this way...
Just curious. I know they should be installed dot to dot, but I wonder what will happen if they are installed like this in the picture. Thanks fellas.

Everything works correctly. You put in the distributor and go.
Dot to dot means you have to rotate it one full turn (until it looks like this) to be on #1 firing.
IIRC!

What happens is you're more likely to get it one tooth off.
Install dot-to-dot, then rotate the crank one turn to get to the #1 firing position. As pictured, the engine is in the #1 firing position.
