Engine Mechanical problem
1984 Pontiac Firebird V8 Automatic 184000 miles
I am replacing the timing chain and gears. took out the old and after lining up the marks on the gears. went to replace the gears and when they were not exact my son turned the crank several times and now my question. How can I find where the cam is in relationship to the crank before i put this back together?
The cam gear dot is exactly at 6:00, the crank gear dot exactly at 12:00.
the number one piston is not at the top (it is at the bottom) and the rotor on the distributor is not on the number one spark plug wire, but towards the firewall.
