Hi Neal and Janice and all

Of course the "other half" of the timing mark is on the outer ring of the
balancer... but there is a good chance that the balancer might have
"walked"
.  If it is the original balancer it would be a VERY good idea to check
the
accuracy of the TDC mark on the balancer.

Bring the engine up to near TDC by observing the position of the rotor
 inside distributor) in relation to where the wire for #1 cylinder is
located.  Then, using a piston stop indicator  , find TRUE TDC in #1
cylinder  ( that's the forward cylinder in the driver's side of the
engine)
.  IF you do not have a piston stop indicator, buy one, rent
one, or make one from a hollowed-out spark plug and a bolt threaded into
it.

Once #1 cylinder is at true TDC  , you can verify the accuracy ( and
position) of the timing mark on the outer ring of the balancer.  If it is
accurate, proceed with timing as per spec.  If it is inaccurate, you may
temporarily re-scribe the balancer at true TDC, but a balancer rebuild
would
be in order.

Out of about 6 used balancers I checked recently ( with an engine on a
stand
at true TDC, only two had the timing mark located correctly, the others
had
"walked), some by 5 degrees, some by ten degrees, some by a lot more

360 degrees'ly

John

Subject: Driveline installation

Good afternoon,

My G is painted!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The plan is to install the driveline this
wedsnday. The desired method of installation is to remove the front
subframe from the body and roll the subframe out from under the body.
The assembled engine and transmission will then be bolted to the
subframe, then the body picked up and lowered over the front assembly.

Has anyone ever done this? I have not with the subframe. I have done it
with K frame equipped cars.. We are doing this to minimize the chance of
scratching anything. Additionally, the fenders and hood have been
painted while attached to the body.

Any guidace is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Richard Osborne
