    These are the best pictures I have. Each camshaft pulley has a notch that needs to be matched up with the corresponding notch that’s on the metal timing cover. The top picture shows the left pulley is off 180 degrees, it should be at the top like the right one. The crank pulley at the bottom has its own corresponding notches/marks too. Idk if this answered your question.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I need to look you need to get the cam and crank in the right time.

    It is not as simple as everything lined up by the timing marks.

    i know how to get things lined up in my fashion.

    Maybe someone knows off the top of their head .
