When you're degreeing a Cam, how do "you" attach the degree wheel to the Crankshaft?

I have an opinion, but want to know how others have approached the problem.

Then there's the pesky problem of attaching the dial indicator (magnetic base, aluminum head)and exactly where to place the plunger. I'm lucky, I have solid lifters so I don't have to worry about the hydraulic lash adjusters.

So guys, help a brother out, ok?
