o.k guys here they are...

THANKS THANKS THANKS....
I need to get this beast on the road before summer flies by....
please help thanks patrick...
in the pics is what i sold last summer my old dodge fury ...
so i had that empty feeling and picked this cutlass up late spring ...had to show you guys...

 

The cupped side of that blue seal (shown in your pic) will be toward the inside of the engine.

The dished metal object is the oil slinger, it goes inside of the timing cover, with the dish facing out. The balancer will butt up against it.

It seems from the pic, you installed the fuel pump eccentric wrong. It should be flat against the timing gear, and the bent in notch should go into the cam pin hole. It is offset to actuate the fuel pump (hence the word eccentric).

That bolt holding it looks way wrong. It should have an extended tip that will be an certain distance from the timing cover. The eccentric should not be holding the cam back in the block, that bolt should be the farthest item hanging out there. I think you should have around .020" from the bolt tip-to the front cover, with the gasket on the block.

Still trying to remember how I changed my cam out on my cutlass with the engine still in the car on the side of the road in front of my parents house.....

 

BTW, cool color on the Fury.
