Well....my parts showed up today
I installed the Cloyes timing chain set and wow...the chain was a lot tighter than the Mopar set I removed. Installed straight up I got 108.5* measuring on the intake this time (definately the intake this time
)
Before drilling I decided to advance the crank sprocket using the advance keyway. Doing this got me to 104.5* so I am moving in the right direction.
Now...should I move the crank sprocket back and try a 6* bushing in the cam sprocket? Or should I leave the crank sprocket where it is and try a 2* bushing in the cam sprocket? Does it really make any difference?
Anyway...it looks like I am moving in the right direction now and I have a nice new Cloyes timing set to boot.
That crank socket is a life saver. Wow does it make finding TDC a whole lot easier!!!
