I
did that once, a long time ago :*) Got home from work one day and decided
to do a "quick" cam change. Along about 3 or 4 in the morning I discovered
I'd missed the timing marks (#6 instead of #1). I just flipped the
distributor 180 degrees and timed it off #6 plug wire. Worked like a
champ! Come to think of it, I don't think I ever put it back right.
If you find anyone driving around in a Mountain Green 69 300 Deluxe Ss396
that's cussed about it, have 'em contact me. I'd love to have that car
back again! http://www.dalesplace.com/images/gallery/69/69ss.jpg

When both marks are pointing at
each other, that is #6 at TDC.
When both marks are pointing
straight up, that is #1 at TDC.
It sounds as you set the timing up
with both marks pointing at each other and set the distributor to #1
Cyl. That would be 180 degrees out of timing.
With everything back together,
remove #1 Spark plug and turn the engine over until you feel pressure and then
watch the timing mark on the balancer and stop when the mark on the balancer
and the timing tab are set to 0 degrees. Rest the distributor to #1 cyl,
lock it down, start eng and then set timing with timing
light.
You should be
ok.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] HELP! Timing
or what?
Hey
Listers,
I have another problem. OK, I recently replaced my
timing chain and the big/top sprocket. It was the actual sprocket that was
messed up. The teeth were all eaten away. Now I try to start my Chevelle and
it will start, but it coughs something fierce with gas spurting on the carb
at every cough.
I align the two gear notches as required
and put the front cover back on. Today I loosen the distributor and had a
friend start it as I turn the distributor. I sounds a LITTLE better but
still coughs and spits gas from the carb. What else should I
do?
I changed plugs today -- no real difference -- any
suggestions?
