If you replace the damper and timing tab, you shouldn't have any further trouble with timing the motor with a light. Production cast iron heads, 12 at the crank and 24 in the weights for a total of 36. Aluminum heads or cast iron heads with good chambers, such as L31 Vortec heads, 12 at the crank and 22 in the weights for a total of 34. More cam will want more initial at the crank. Of course, all of us on this board have ear-timed motors in the past. If you want to keep track of what the motor is doing, purchase a lighted Longacre plug loupe and bone up on reading plugs.

We were just discussing that subject on another thread.....
