360 Timing Mystery

SLC Duster Dude said

Interesting. But when I install the cam with all the marks lined up shouldn't I drop the dist. in to line up the #1 plug?

Nope. Remember, the timing gear marks don't line up when the #1 cylinder is at TDC. They line up when the #6 cylinder is TDC. You could actually line up the gear marks and move the dizzy to line up with the #6 tower.
