Need advice 360 timing chain cam/crank slightly off
I suggested (post #33) that the crank dot is past straight up and that if you backed the crank up (or turn it over almost twice) then the two dots would line up. Still looks that way to me, but so far no one has said yeah or nay to my suggestion.
Quite a while ago, I bought a rebuilt slant six long block, put it in my 67 Barracuda (now a 360). It was a dog. Checked this, checked that, then bit the bullet and pulled the timing cover. At first, the two dots appeared to line up, but after carefully lining everything up, found the cam sprocket was a tooth off. Fixed that, and - wow - picked up 20-30 horsepower. Bottom dot only has to be half a tooth past centered to make the top dot a full tooth off while looking OK.
