Default Engine timed up...

Working on a 94 LT1 and upgrading to 96 opti, have all needed parts to do the job.

I have the engine timing set with the chain and sprockets, dots line up. The camshaft dowel is at 3:00 o'clock and the crank keyway is about 1 o'clock.

As you all know the opti will only go on one way, but to make the opti fit it looks like the cam dowel needs to be at 9 o'clock postion, but turning the engine to do this puts the # 1 cylinder on exhaust stroke? Suggestion? Correct?

:skep:

Thanks guys! :flag
