Default Cam Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok A guy gave me a set of brand new cams with my B16 Delsol(Stock B16). he said they were Stage 2 CROWER cams. So I put them in they all lined up and looked fine then put it in time. then I went to put the distributor slot on the cam isnt lining up with the distributor. what could they be then if the fit but that doesnt line up????

I believe he was talking about mechanical timing. Turn the distributor key until it lines up with the cam then reset the ignition timing with a timing gun

That's what I was kind of thinking. I thought he might of just got them to sit in there or something. I still don't get why the dizzy key wouldn't line up with the cam? Unless op is explaining it wrong or isn't turning the key to where it will line up

With what? You didn't mention what the problem was? Were you just not lining it up?
