OP mark38 Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 34 oregon	Hi trying to set the initial timing on rebuilt 350 with HEI 300hp. I set at TDC but im unable to turn counter clockwise to 12 degrees before TDC. Can I turn motor clock wise and stop at 12 degrees before TDC. Thanks

If it was 180 off it wouldn't start or run. Get it back at TDC #1 on Compression stroke.Drop it back in with rotor pointing to #1 postion on cap. Good luck. Jim

Jim [/quote] i also agree! it is just a one tooth off. and is will not run if it's 180. try to get it back again. you will eventually succeed on that good luck!
