283 Timing
I have a SBchevy 283 and i was wondering if when the timing marks are lined up on the gears should the rotor be facing the no.1 cyl? Thanks,
Mike

A couple questions for ya...
If the distriburer is of by 1 tooth(too far ahead) how much would that affect the engine?
How common are vaccume leaks from the intake to the heads?
Thanks!

Being off by one tooth will certainly make it hard to set timing,,moving the wires in the dist cap by one position would take care of the problem,,at least for your own use.
Intake manifold Vaccume leaks are a common thing to have,,,most of the time it's from installing an aftermarket intake manifold which is not planed at the right angles.
Other than that,,,it's a gasket not lined up properly,,or sufaces not prepped properly before installation of new gaskets.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
