I think David is asking about the harmonic balancer, does it have a 0 degree mark at TDC and the degrees BTDC on one side and degrees ATDC on the other? It looks to me as though it just has the degrees BTDC and 0 degrees TDC.

Yes. I'm thinking I see nothing but degrees after TDC. There are things called timing tape, but Henry Help Us, if you can find one for a sbf. |
OK, my bad. Looked at a balancer on the shelf & yours shows before degrees & no after degrees.
The pointer lines up with the first zero mark when you find for sure TDC? |

Then you should be able to pull the spout, loosen the hold-down & get 10* (second 0, second red mark to the right)
Unless the cap is hitting something. The only other issue you might be having is that 8 inches of vacuum could be some heavy leak. |

You can disconnect the vacuum line at the EGR valve and plug it. It will have no effect for your purposes at this time.
8 inches of vacuum is way low. Vacuum that low would most commonly indicate a manifold leak. Is the PCV valved line made to the tapped opening on the the rear of the upper intake? I know this connection opening is out of sight, maybe out of mind. |

I drove it up to town twice today first time I tried it at 12°-15° I had to stop and advance it up to 20°+ just to get up the hills. It it heats up to the fan comes when not moving but driving it cools down to 190 or so, when I turned it off I checked the thermostat housing with my gauge and it read 197 just after shutdown. |
Well besides the motor, everything else is working ok?
I would like to see a photo of your truck! |
197* is good. 20* I guess will have to be lived with for now.
Are your IAC, throttle body, gaskets new? Are all the extra ports on the vaccume tree capped? This thing doesn't have a power brake booster does it? What intake to head gasket did you use? |
