Timing chain tips? Please! 72 360
I have a 72 F100 with a 360. While doing my Pertronix mods this weekend (Thanks to all for the info!), I noticed that my water pump has leteral play in the shaft. methinks this is bad, so I'll replace the water pump soon.
As long as the WPump is off, I might as well swap out the stock fibrous timing gear, right? Accordingly, I ordered a steel timing set for a 68 360 (Someone on the bbs said that a 68 would have better timing for better power than a set for a 72. Hope this is true).
Anyway, as I am soon to swap out the timing gears and chain, as well as the waterpump and fuel pump, I would love to hear any tips and tricks from the collective experience of the board. I am especially concerned about messing up the timing set project. What do I torque the gears to, foot-pound-wise?
Any hints?
Thanks!

I tried to e-mail you some info regarding your questions (with pictures) via the Profiles, but couldn't. Kept getting the message "security check failed"; don't know why. Must be an 'age-related' thing, too old to trust maybe; hee hee.
Anyway, if you would like a step-by-step with pics, e-mail me at market@zianet.com

I'm not having a whole lot of luck e-mailing you, Dan.
I got your e-mail just fine. But when I tried to send you the info, it was refused twice.
Is there another address I can use? Or can I be "approved for transmission" at the e-mail address you gave me?
