I will not use those here, and have seen quite a few lower sprockets split at the keyway as with cast iron each place you put a keyway is potential place to start a crack (weak).
No wonder you had issues getting the cam dialed in. Lessons in humility await those who try to degree camshafts with that junk.....FWIW......

The original Timing Gear and Chain had three notches. I upgraded to the nine slots, I may have confused the forum saying it was four notches, but I am not doing the installation. Therefore, I forgot what it looked like, after it came out of the box, two years ago. The one in the 428 ci Motor today is from Comp Cams, I believe it has double chain, 4 advance and four retard and a zero setting in the middle?
Now that I have installed it at zero notch, the rest are not needed, however I am hard pressed to purchase another, since I have one in stock, that is like new.
