I just installed my cam and I'm ready for my timing set install. In the past I've never put much thought on cam position when I'm installing timing set. I lined up the marks in the gears and confirmed TDC on #1. Slid the timing set in and rotated a couple times to confirm that nothing is binding up. Everything rotates smooth so I thought I was good to go. Then I get to thinking that the cam could be In 2 possible locations when #1 is at TDC. 0* and 180* opposite. At both the cam lobes are positioned in a way that the lifters are fully down in the lifter bore. I realize that either way I will install the distributor on the compression stroke of #1 TDC. Thoughts?
Not that it matters but I'm working on my 66 200 six.
