    timing marks

     



    a'ight question, I have my new camshaft and timing chain set installed, before I button everything up and move on just wanted to be sure of one thing. On the camshaft instructions it shows to have the two dots matched up. the crank at 12 O'clock and the cam at 6 o'clock. When I started taking everything apart I made sure I was at 1 TDC. When I took the timing cover off both dots were at 12 o'clock. This corresponds to my manuals. I know if the two dots line up at 6 and 12 o'clock then the #6 piston is at tdc. Am I ok or do I need to reset it?

    cool I know if I did it wrong I could just rewire the distributor, but that would irritate me to no end and keep me awake at night

    i guess I was lookingat it wrong if it was installed at 6 tdc then I'd start wiring there and work my way around in order so it would all end up peachy anyway

    if you have it dot to dot, put the rotor tip to # 6 AND START THE WIRING ORDER THERE with #6 plug wire. 65721843.
