Re: Men of Mopar!: A rebuilt 440 ci Engine, Distributor installation question.



that would be correct, the  timing marks on the cover show approximate TDC of the #1 piston, but the position of the cam decides if it is compression or exhaust stroke, the timing mark lines up twice for ever power stroke, another way to look at it would be,,,,,,, an engine running at 6000 rpm only fires any given cylinder 3000 times per minute,,,,,, this also comes into the equation when figuring what size carb  you need, which would be cubic inches of engine times  desired rpm, which must be divided by 2 because of compression/exhaust stroke

Yeah I ran into that on a slant 6. Turns out when the timing marks are
aligned on a slant 6 number one cylinder is on its exhaust stroke and number
6 is on its compression stroke. Whoda thunk!
