thats good. jb weld should be sufficient. it is was boost referenced using the port on the bottom of the carb but the boost it was getting from that was lower then what was in the bowls.

for the timing set. the two gears should have dots on them, you line everything up in a straight line. cam bolt, dot on the cam gear, dot on the crank sprocket and the bolt hole in the crank. ive read a few places that they arent marking them right. not sure if its true or not. ive done a couple in the car. removing the radiator isnt necessary but is good insurance. to get the old sprocket off of the crank use a cold chisel and a hammer or a puller. just smack it with a hammer until it cracks and pull it off. line the cam and crank up before pulling it apart. putting the new one on is simple. without the chain on put the cam gear on and slide the crank sprocket on just far enough so that it sits in the woodruff key. make sure they are lined up. once you have verified that put the chain on both of the gears and slide them on and into position at the same time. i use a hammer and a 3/8 extension to put the crank gear on. tapping all the way around until its completely seated. dont forget to put your oil slinger back on before putting the timing cover on.

when pulling off the balancer make sure you use a puller that pulls from the center section and doesnt grab onto the outside ring. if you pull it from the ring it can and probably will come apart. i always use a universal steering wheel puller with a "Y" shape. works well.
