Timeing set alignment question

Blownfish said
That would be correct, when installing a new chain and using the marks on the gears the cam mark should be at 6 and the crank mark at 12, the engine will be on the exhaust stroke, not compression stroke.

Thanks, the instructions, nor a factory manual, nor the chiltons, explain procedure

Chevys line up like the instructions say. Mopars have the crank dot at 12 o'clock and the cam dot at 12 o'clock.

I guess what I`m trying to find out, the new set has to go back on the same as the old set, or I`ll be pulling dist. and rotating 180*?
