Oil pump and timing chain questions

Just so you know, they can be put in at 12 on the crank and 12 on the cam but you would then have to turn the distributor or wires 180 out. :-)

I do that sometimes just to screw with people that think they know what they are doing.
I won a hundred bucks doing that one day as the owner of the car bet me it wouldn't run. (He lost):D
