timing chain Install 70 350
just want to verify - By design - When the cam timing gear mark is at 6 o'clock and the crank timing gear mark is at the 12 o'clock, then by design the #1 cylinder would be at TDC. thanks

The cam gear dot at 6 o'clock and the crank gear dot at 12 o'clock is cylinder number 1 at TDC on the compression stroke. Both cam lobes will be on the flat side of the cam and the rocker arms on cylinder number 1 will be closed.
When installing the balancer it should line up at 0 degrees if you have not rotated the engine and kept the dots aligned. If it is not zero, the outer ring of the balancer may have slipped/rotated on the inner ring which will cause an inaccurate base ignition timing setting.
Hope this helps.

"12 o'clock 12o'clock is #1 tdc on an Olds.
6 & 12 is a Chevy. "
For an olds...if the cam and crank marks are at 12 O'clock and 12 o'clock is #1 at tdc for compression?
if you set the the marks to 6 o'clock for the cam, 12 o'clock for the crank, then should the rotor be pointing to the #6 cylinder?
thanks

I apologize for giving incorrect information and say thank you to those who took the time to provide the correction. This will teach me not to rely on memory for a critical application.
