I have a 1987 351w out of a bronco of the same year. (going into a 1969 cougar with fmx and 2.75 rear gears) I would like to advance the timing with the new 3 way indexed timing chain set I purchased from summit (it is in the mail, I don't have it in hand yet).
I would like to install it 4* advanced to move my power bands down lower in the car. How do I install the set? I looked at the indexed gear and I am not sure how it works... each index point has its own slot, and it seems to me if I install the set, the new slot and mark would be in the same position as the 0* slot and mark (i.e. I wouldn't move the cam in relation to the crank either way of installing the set)... Do I put the gear on one of the odd marks and then turn the crank until the dot and the 0* mark line up? can someone help me out here?
