    Denny,

    Yep, the dot-to-dot and 12 o'clock high discussion pretty much told the tale.

    Thanks guys, i installed the edelbrock timing chain, this time made sure bolth were at 12 o clock at TDC, motor runs a lot better. Funny thing though, when installing the gears i had to actualy rotate the cam shaft about a 1/8th of an inch clockwise to get the new cam gear on, the hole for the pin on the front of the cam is different on the other timing set.

    Thanks again for all your help !!!
