Not that it helps much but if you look at the two cam pictures, you should notice that they are cut to keep the dizzy ( and oil pump ) spinning clockwise.
Doesn't matter at this point, I chickend out and had to buy another short block just to make good on my word. At this point, it's like I'm/we're doing all the work for free for a friend because my customer isn't the one who made the mistake.
The local ( run of the mill) machinist that sold me the engine (last year for a project that fell thru) is the one who should get his [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] kicked! He's no where to be found and good riddins.
I will do what I can/have to to finish the job.
I'm sure someone out there could use this fresh reverse rotation 30 over 360 with a nice purple shaft cam, it should make for a nice engine just backwards
I might find out that all I need to do is to replace crank and cam, the rest is pretty nice.
. IF the knurling does push oil out I would polish it down to minimize that & I think all the other issues could be easily dealt with ex what about the starter as it needs to be cranked CCW. I wourked on an inboard 318 once & that was what stuck out in my recollections. That and it had a strange firing order 2-1-8-4-3-6-5-7 iirc
