Ok,I have a 74 Impala,400 SB 2 barrel ,and Im putting a new timing chain in it so I can sell it,but Im confused about something.
I have the engine at top dead center and the dot on the crank sprocket is on the 12 o clock position,and the cam (big) sprocket is supposed to have a dot on the 6 o clock position ,but my problem is ,there is no dot on the cam sprocket,just the mark you see on it,but no dot.The car lost alot of power and the chain has ALOT of slack,so im wondering if it skipped a few teeth,any help would be great because since theres no dot on the cam sprocket.Shouldnt the cam sprocket mark be on the 6 o clock position and aligned wih the crack sprocket dot?
you can see in the pics how loose and how much slack the chain has.
