Cam Gear Timing Wrong
just installed my 272's...and fidanza cam gears ---- theres a problem
i checked the new cam gears against the stock ones , there not the same
the fidanzas have the alignment pin for the cam at the 12 oclock position directly in line with the 0 degree mark on the cam gear
the stockers are roughly at the 11 oclock position in relation the timing mark on
top of the gear..
you guys getting good results with the -4...-1.5 on the cam gears ,,,,
did you use the 0deg marks on the fidanzas to line up with the timing marks on the valve cover
or did you use the horizontal lines on both gears and line them up horizontally accross the head.
i need help with this ive taken it apart 5 times and readjusted the gears and i cant figure which way to do it...
any help would be appreciated
regards rick!!!
