Read this online, I think this is where the problem is - I took it apart: When you install a cam or timing chain.. You install it so dot is over dot Cam gear dot at 6:00, crank gear at 12:00 This is NOT the correct placement for ignition timing.. This puts #6 piston at TDC compression stroke. You would need to rotate crank 360*, to get #1 on compression stroke.. Now the crank gear dot will be at 12:00 again, but cam turns at half the speed of crank, so cam gear will be a 12:00 now as well This is where you can set ignition timing now

Is this correct? Excuse my ignorance on this, I just don't know how to do it. Does this mean it turns over twice to get to 360 degrees? Clockwise?

Thanks,

Jim
