Piston stops are always used in conjunction with a degree wheel, and 
because of the cramped quarters behind the Pantera's engine access door, wheels 
larger than about 7" don't fit on the crank nose. They run into underbody 
water hoses and occasionally the crossmember thats right there. Normally, a 
bigger wheel is better 'cause its more accurate but on a Pantera, it just won't 
fit. Even with my engine setback, I can't get a large wheel in there, so I 
hope your friend has a small wheel.   Good luck- J Deryke
