fattest cam in a 340?

I think I was misunderstood. I have a mark, as it was highlighted with orange paint and still couldn't be seen by myself or another member here with the timing light.

honestly, I like the cam I have, It just isnt degreed correctly and I want to know the specs. I just figured starting all over with a new cam would be easier.

If you have not disassembled the front end of the engine down to the timing chain and put a degree wheel on it and checked it you cannot say the cam isn't degreed correctly. IMO what your doing is confusing cam timing with ignition timing because you can't see the timing mark. Not seeing the timing mark is possibly due to a slipped outer ring on the balancer, the wrong balancer is installed, or the wrong timing cover is installed. Has nothing whatsoever to do with the cam timing. First thing I'd do is check the balancer over real good for a slipped outer ring. If it's ok get a top dead center indicator and figure out where TDC really is on the balancer. Then you can set your timing. If you don't figure this out no cam will ever run right.
