I need chevy 250 help again

I can't seem to find an online manual or a good pic of how to set the timing gears on my 68 250 inline,,,any help would be great ,,,,,thanks in advance,,,,

 

Crank gear has a mark [dot] on a tooth, cam gear has a mark [dot ] between 2 teeth . Line 'em up.

 

no dot on crank gear,,,that is what is throwin me

 

is the crank gear on backwards? so the dot is to the backside

 

Just go to your nearest public library, they actually have MOTORS and CHILTONS there, usually. And, stay away from those "phenolic" timing gear sets! And, there SHOULD be a dot on each of the gears according to my CHILTONS. Like squirrel said, are the gears on CORRECTLY? Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Just pulled timing cover off to see if it was off time,,,I didnt do anything interal to motor,,gear may be on backwards

 

go to a shop and aske them to look it up on all data for ya

 

ok,,finally got to gettin pics,,,is the very tiny dot on gear the timing mark or a casting flub? never seen one that small,,,,,

 

any help?

Yeah, that's all you get for a dot.

 

post it here may help some one else out in the future

 

Dont feel to bad, i knew a guy that did that to a small block chevy, but he put it at the top, needless to say the car was 180 out.

 

dont feel bad for what? I didnt put motor together,,I 'm just ryin to fix it

 

Half, did you get it figured out yet ?
The little dot on the crank gear lines up with the dot on the cam gear.
Was it lined up that way when you took it apart ?

I dont know,,,it had so much crap on it I didnt see it until I took it off and cleaned it up

 

So what ? Small block Chevy, doesn't make any difference if you put the cam dot straight up or straight down. It can't be 180 degrees out.
