Timing help

[sukchew at suddenlink.net (Chuck Blue)]

No one has responded yet so I'll start this off and then the experts can 
chime in with the official good stuff.If you are checking the timing through 
the timing hole you might as well check the cam timing while you're at 
it.With the crank shaft at TDC verify that the timing  mark on the rear of 
the cam gear is at the edge of the valve cover.(You would be looking at the 
gear from the drivers side).The mark on the crankshaft pulley will be lined 
up with the mark on the intermediate shaft pulley.The crank pulley mark will 
be a notch in the edge of the pulley.The mark on the intermediate shaft 
pulley will be a dot indentation on the passenger side.If this is lined up 
and the Dist. is timed  correctly the rotor will be pointing to the number 
one spark plug wire position in the dist cap and there should be a 
corresponding mark on the edge of the dist. lip.It may be just a indented 
line on the lip.If all of that is line up and your ignition points are 
adjusted correctly the timing should be correct.
  I'm looking forward to meeting you in Cincy.
