Tackling this issue now, HEI into a 72 400. I know I'm at #1 TDC but don't remember whether my cam gear dot is at 6:00 or 12:00. I've been foolishly going with standard American V8 engine assembly procedures, which Pontiacs do not always seem to follow . . . where do I go from here?
I do have a 1970 factory service manual for the car, is the install procedure the same for an HEI as for a points distributor?
I can't take any chances with this thing not firing right up as I will be breaking in a flat-tappet cam. Any advice besides the previous posts?
