I use the "Jomar" wheel, (they make the Howard's wheel), which has different markings on both sides of the wheel.
Use whichever side is most appropriate for that specific job.

The wheel shown in the photo clearly says it is supposed to be mounted to the camshaft.

Or just bring it into the 20th century with a digital setup from Digi Dix. Or make your own starting with something like this.

Accurate to 0.1 deg.

I went this route a few years ago and I doubt that I'll ever go back.

It was simply to bring it to attention.
THAT is why it has 720 degrees ... because it is half of the crankshaft rotation.

That's why I want it. Does my head in when I hang a 360 degree wheel on a cam.
