Good Day
Your never to old to screw up.
I purchase a Rollmaster 5300 timing set for use in a 87 D150. The screw up came when I installed the crank gear. To many possibilities and I THOUGHT I was lining up on the '0' for the crank gear, but, alas, I was wrong. To compound the screw-up I didn't catch it until the motor was re-installed.
Now for the question; What do you use for a crank gear puller? Not a lot of clearance between the gear and block for convention jaw or clam-shell pullers. Not wanting to use heat (re:torch) to heat the gear and everything I see that MIGHT work is geared toward bow-tie motors, of VW. Hate to spend $70+ bucks on a crap shoot.
I hope I'm not the only one who has ever had this issue,.
