Are you sure? Their website says the gears mark +10/-10 and there are 5 marks on either side of the center mark. Wouldn't this mean each mark = 2 degrees?
buy another gear. next question?
here is a fun way to see it in real time, y0. set your distributor timing to 14BTDC at 0 on the intake cam. set the cam gear at plus 1 on the gear, you will be at 16BTDC without reclocking the distributor. I actually use this method to make sure I know how far I have advanced the gear, I lock it down where I want it, then chase timing after I have the setting I want

they are just inconvenient to use in IMO. the fasteners are right on top of the etch marks which become hard to see after a while. not to mention the backing plate is made of aluminum which is soft metal. any amount of over-tightening will strip them over time. I want a -10/+10 gear thats more robust for my next set.
