Does This Look Right?
I'm trying to install a new Comp Cams cam and timing chain set in my 77 350. I want to install it straight up, not advanced or retarded. The timing gear marks are not very clear, is this correct?

The problem is, the marks don't line up with the keyways. The circle mark is between two keyways.

Looks right to me, rounded keyway slot to the O indicator mark = neutral timing

the marks dont line up with the key way. Youu need to set the #1 piston at top dead center and line up the marks you want per the directions

I guess I miss-read his question, I thought he meant which keyway to use for neutral timing, since he didn't show the cam gear I guessed he did align the "0" marks between the gears
Still using the rounded keyway for neutral timing, Here's an image
But since he hasn't responded since he asked I'll also guess he's moved on

Yes, plenty of assembly lube, looking for oil with plenty of zinc before first start.
