Did you get a degreeing kit, or just the wheel? You will need a dial indicator and a piston stop too.
I don't know how to explain the process any simpler than these articles. The first article is about cams in general. The rest explain how to degree a cam, complete with pictures. If you read through all this and still don't understand, then the best thing is to have someone actually show you how to do it.

We just have Jim at Racer Brown grind the advance right into the cam and we line 'em up Dot to Dot and go.
We checked dozens of them and with the Rollmaster timing sets and a Jimmy Boy Cam it's a waste of time, never found one out by more than 1/2 degree.
