when i rebuilt my 350 i put timming marks like this n found distributor off 180 when aligned to no.1 plug, started when aligned to no.6,….i believe timming marks should be 12 and 12

If I'm doing a DOD delete on my Tahoe 5.3 and changed my timing chain, do I also need to change the sprockets?

I just put a new timing chain on a 5.7 Vortec – The car won't start – Back fires a little. How do I tell if I am 180 degrees out. I set the marks at 6 O'clock for the cam and the crank at 12 O'clock – Any youtubers have an answer – Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

Cam should not be turned, the crank can be adjusted a little to make sure bottom is matched with top. But the engine should already be on top dead center by timing mark before take down this solves issues of being off 180 degrees for distributer. It is 12 o'clock on the crank versus 6 o' clock on the cam for match up.

Question i am installing new timing chain…when crankshaft and camshaft gear marks are lined up is that also top dead center on cylinder number one? I think it is ..just want to make sure…thanks

He seems like a really good teacher , patient and kind

Matts Garage says:

So what holds the cam from sliding back and forth I don't know much about chevys just curious

Robert Smith says:

you said Cam gear at 12:00 but installed at 6:00, could clarify which is correct.

James Jordan says:

you are correct at lining the dots on crank and cam but what all the guys on youtube fail to mention is that dot to dot is not a compression stroke or the position to stab the distributor….so if you stab the distributor with dots aligned then it will be 180 out, so the dots on cam sprocket and crank sprocket have to be in the 12o'clock position with both intake and exhaust valves closed for it to be correct….the ratio is 2 crank revolutions to 1 cam revolution….if you stab distributor with dot to dot position then there is a possibility of valves and piston colliding during engine crank attempts you dont want piston coming up and valves opening
