There is no such procedure to 'degree' a cam. You don't want to advance the crank without also advancing the cam or it won't run very well at higher rpm.

Need the firing order for a 1964 Corvette stingray?

The firing order of the LS1 is 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3.This is different than even the GENII engines.Soyou get an exhaust cycle something like this: LRLLRLRR (this is pulledfrom two full cycles "LRLRR'LRLLRLRR'LRL") note the double pulses.Theonly way for GM to get this firing order and keep the engine balancedwas to implement a 360 degree crank. The 360 degree crank only impliesthat the throw angles of the crank occur in the full 360 degrees (of acircle). This is different than a 180 degree crank where the throwsoccur only at the top (0 degrees) and bottom (180 degrees) of thecrank. A 90 degree crank will have throws occurring every 90 degrees(like the major points of a compass).Sowhat does this all mean? That a 360 degree crank will have multiplepistons travelling in the same direction at the same time. This causessome interesting balance issues, but by manipulating the firing orderyou can take care of the major problems. To contrast the 180 degreecrank will have pistons moving in opposite directions at the same time.This makes the engine act like it has two cylinders in an engine casewith 3 other 2 cylinder engines.Soto answer your question, the engine is still a 4 cycle engine (intake,compression, combustion, exhaust). The piston still has to travel upand down twice, requiring 2 strokes (crank revolutions). This means theplugs could be firing any time during those 2 crank revolutions (4 onerevolution and 4 the other) which is what a 360 crank allows. And I'msure the timing is set up so that everything is balanced. That's the bulk of my knowledge on that I'm sure I've made a mistake or two but for the most part it should be pretty accurate.AnswerThe firing order of the LS1 is 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3.

What does 15 degrees mean?

15 degrees is the amount of crankshaft rotation. All rotating internal engine parts (cam shaft, crank shaft) turn 360 degrees, that's one full revolution of the engine. The use of degrees is for ignition timing. ie 8 degrees btdc (before top dead center) That number depends on you engine size and can be found on a sticker either on the fan shroud or the front of the hood near the latch.
