Timing Chain Replacement Question

Mopar King said

so everything I did is A-ok? should I leave it the way it is points not facing each other and rotor pointing at #1 spark plug - like in the pictures and close everything up.


I still have it set up like in the pic. In the few books I have - it never said anything about this:read2:. this is very new to me.

The way you had it is correct, but it is easier installing the chain with the dots aligned in the middle.

There is also no need to mess with the dist when changing the timing chain, once the chain is in then set the engine on TDC compression stroke to make sure the dist is in correctly as well as checking the dist gear especially if the chain was real bad, it is commun for people to move the gear around to compensate for the chain being worn out.
