New timing set on old 429 question
I've been reading the forums for awhile now doing work on my old 429 and the amount of info here is second to none. I have a question about the timing set on my 429 though. Maybe the answer to this question is obvious, but is it necessary to be at top dead center to install my new timing set? Being that the crank is keyed and the bottom sprocket slides onto that key it seems like there isnt any reason to be at top dead center when installing the new set, which is the cloyes 9-3122. Am I missing something here? Sometimes my brain don't work so good.
