Stupid Question ???
This may seem like a stupid question, but the two books (one by Steve Christ - Big Block Ford Engines and one by Pat Ganahl - Ford Performance) show both ways as being correct. I am putting together a 427 center oiler and am at the point of installing the timing pointer on the timing chain cover. The pointer that points to the timing marks on the crank damper. Does the flat (straight) side go toward the top of the engine or does the angled side go toward the top of the engine. I assume that one would read the timing from the flat side and it seems that common sense would tell you that that side would go up. You know what usually happens when you start to assume something, so I thought I had better ask the experts.
