I bought the car and the motor was "rebuilt" with 500 miles but it was an absolute disaster and I had to rebuild the motor again. I'm reusing some of the parts since they have so few miles on them. The first picture is of how the camshaft was originally installed.

Was it installed straight up, advanced, or retarded? Cause I have no idea



Here is a better picture of the gear itself. I have no idea how to install this thing, or what the markings on the crank gear mean.


Should I install the crank straight up or 4* advanced?
Now that I've focused better I can see the three symbols on the crank gear. They are - rectangle +. It does appear the camshaft is installed using the "advanced" position on the gear. You can clearly see the -(negative or retarded) symbol and the + (positive or advanced) symbol. JD
