Installing my new Isky cam 140-160 1971

posted by  someone claiming to be 145volvowayne on  Tue Aug 16 18:20 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello all,

Well I have finally started the T5 conversion on my 71 145. I am also installing the IPD cam my wife bought me last year. This is the source of my question: I have torn the engine down to the timming gears and set up the engine to be at TDC on No. 1. However when I look at the timming gears the mark on the larger fiber gear is 180 deg away from the mark on the crankshaft gear. The instructions in both my shop manual and the cam direstions say the marks should line up at TDC. Mine don't. So now I am wondering if the gear/cam was put on wrong even though the engine ran great?

Where should I leave the motor? At TDC determined by the distributor postion and double checked by both valves on No. 1 closed as well as the piston at the top of it's travel? OR Line up the timming gear marks which leaves the No. 4 cylinder at TDC?

Please help
Thanks,
Wayne
