There's also a pretty good article on-line at
http://www.cranecams.com/instructions/degreeing/degree.htm
about 'degreeing' a cam.
The degree wheel itself is only about $10 (get one of the big metal ones
at a performance shop, stay away from the little plastic one that Moss
sells), a cheap Chinese dial indicator and stand is only about $25, and
you can make a piston stop yourself from an old spark plug. The 'rigid
pointer' they talk about can be a piece of coat hangar wire, wrapped
around a bolt head and bent to suit.
Or, you can buy Crane's "Tune-a-Cam kit", which I believe is around $150
