The crank gear is harder to install than the cam gear.
I've used a heat gun and no more to give the crank gear a few thou to make it easier to install. One thing that I find useful is to mark the tooth that I need to hit with a sharpie so that I don't get things misaligned by a tooth when guessing on the helix. I just colour in the tooth on the crank and the valley on the cam gear and wind them together.
Did you have any trouble pulling the cam out? Mine seems to be hitting something. Lifters out, distributor gear out, fuel pump out. It won't even begin to come out-- it's not like I got it an inch out and then a lobe got hung up. Something's preventing it from moving at all.
Cool. Thanks. I haven't had a lot of time. You know- rush out there wiggle the cam a little then rush off to work and so on.
No block mounted fuel pump, I should say. I stuck an eBay Holley carb fuel pump back near the tank. The DCOE's seemed to act strangely with the block mounted pump, even after I stuck an FPR on it.
