Another timing inquiry
My car is a 68 Barracuda. The motor that was in the car is a 19 69 casting 318. I swapped this timing pointer scale to the 1969 casting 340 X head now in the car. No timing marks on cover. Im at TDC on cylinder 1 fire. Confirmed valve's are closed, further CW rotation opened exhaust valve to again confirm earlier fire stroke. ( rotation then returned to TDC)Rotor points to cyl.1.
TDC mark on damper way late and at about the 12oclock position beneath water pump. From all that ive read here, this problem seems to be a tweener . If I was 180 out, damper TDC would be around 4 or 5 o'clock?69 and later has pointer on passenger side I think from what I've read? Ive read in other posts the problem could lie in the cam intermediate drive?
