Adjustable cam gear sprocket?

If you discover that your 224 cam is dead on are you wanting to retard or advance the cam?

Damn, that is the cheapest adjustable set that I have seen. Unfortunately it looks like the only way to move the cam timing is by using the crank sprocket. Doesn't look like the cam sprocket has any adjustment to it. I am going to measure the depth and diameter and anything else that I can measure in order to see if I can avoid pulling my oil pump out. I will advise.
I don't understand why you guys don't check out the infinitely adjustable Comp set. It is adjustable from the cam sprocket to however many degrees you want. A few years ago I only paid $100+. A friend of mine who is a master GM tech was very impressed with it. He bought a Cloyes earlier and thought he got fkd.

1) I belive that the Comp set is double roller and therefore there is no chance of compatibility to my crank sprocket.
2) I dont believe that it is marked for the timing degree adjustment therefore requiring you to have degree the cam with a degree wheel (which I dont want to get into).
Please correct me if I am wrong.
It is positively single roller and it also shows dot to dot. From there you can fine tune as you want, advance or retard. It is not necessary to degree but advisable. Call Comp or any sponsor that carries Comp cams, it's really a no brainer.
