I installed my new camshaft and lifters and am getting close to ready to fire it up. I need to do a few things, like change the oil and add some EOS, etc.
I set the cam timing dots to be pointing towards each other. I had set the car to TDC for #1 before I disassembled anything. I proceeded to swap out the cam. I lined up the dot on the cam gear with the crank gear. Everything looks perfect, the keyway for the crank is at about 2 o'clock, so everything is correct according to my engine book.
My question is, what cylinder is on it's compression stroke, #1 or #6? I already installed my distributor and got it lined up with 10* static advance timing for #1. Should I be setting the dist to fire on #6 instead? Or should I rotate the crank 180* and set the Dist at #1 like I have it? Or am I already doing it correctly?
Thanks!
