You need an adjustable cam gear and you need to advance it 5 degrees to get a normal range of ignition timing adjustment on the distributor. I have the torque specs at home, I can get them for you later if you need. I'm at work right now.

The timing will be off by one sprocket tooth (4.75 degrees). So basically, you can skip a tooth on the sprocket, adjust for 5 cam degrees below TDC and adjust ignition timing to put it back at TDC.
