Camshaft timing when the sprockets are ONE tooth off from straight up.
The odd thing is, the engine idled great. It ran smooth but had very low power.
I know that one can retard a cam to shift the power peak later in the RPM scale but for a 318, that is a bad move because the heads on 318s don't flow well at high RPMs. This one was advanced but by far more than one would do if they had any sense.
I bought this roach as an abandoned project car in 2007. It was my first ever manual transmission Mopar. It turns out that is was originally an automatic. Yeah, the sunroof was horrible.
Here is a before and after....
The roof repair looked decent but not 100% so I put a vinyl skin over it.
