Re: [Chrysler300] What side is the timeing, Mr. Bear?

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi Larry:
I found your question intriguing, so spent a few minutes with my service  
manuals.  As you said, the picture of the timing operation certainly shows  
the timing pointer on the left side of the engine.  Even other  pictures, 
dated 1955, show the pointer there.  Then I checked my 1957  manual.  The 
timing pointer is on the right (passenger) side.  This  photo is dated 1957.  I 
am guessing the change was made because the power  steering pump moved from 
behind the generator to the spot on the left side of  the engine where it 
would obstruct the timing light.
Now, the question is, does the '55 Imp you are working on have a 392 in it, 
 or just a timing cover from one? (Providing one will fit---I certainly 
don't  know if it will or not.)
Hope this helps a little.
300ly, Gil Cunningham

The shop  manual for the 55 Firepower engines shows the timing light aimed

wiring  
for member-elect Swensson has the pointer on the  right   (passenger).   
What 
should I make of  this?  Do 300's get timed from the passenger or  driver  
side?
