timing on a 1995 Chevy Silverado 350 v8?

hi guys ! my friend got a good deal on a 1995 Silverado with a 350 in it ! I like to ask you Chevy guys a question ! I think I know but I want to make sure I am right ! the guy he got it off of said he put a new chain and gears in but he can't get it timed ! he said he had the distributor out and I said why would he take the distributor out to install a timing chain ? my friend wants to know how to know if the chain is on right ! I said bring number one piston all the way up and check the timing mark on the damper, it should be pointing to 0 top dead center and if the distributor was not installed right it won't start ! I told him to pull the distributor out and bring it up to top dead center and drop the distributor back in pointing to number one plug wire ! is that the way you would do it ? thanks guys !

    Consider that the timing mark on the outer ring of the harmonic balancer (damper) might be off due to separation of the outer ring from the rubber (or inner ring from the rubber). In such a case, the car won't time correctly and the harmonic balancer would have to be changed because it is in danger of falling apart and gluing is usually not an option.

    The first link below shows that at least some 1995 Chevy Silverados have 24 valve, dual overhead cams. The second link below shows how to align the timing marks with dual overhead cams.

    Timing on a 1995 Chevy Silverado 350 v8? Smoking is censer to the devil. Using foul language calls upon pagan deities (aka demons); Holy Spirit departs on 7 meters. People who use drugs see demons who disguise themselves as ghosts and aliens. America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Contraceptives = abortion; using contraceptives for 1 year = 5 aborted kids. Miscarriages happen because of high heels; cesarean because of tight pants. Unbaptized aborted/miscarried/unborn babies burn in hell for 33 and a half years; if pregnant, keep the kid and deliver at home because kids are chipped using IVs and vaccines in hospitals. Dentists and doctors chip patients secretly. Ultrasound leads to mark of the beast; don't do ultrasound, please. Abortion leads to breast cancer; a demon is released from hell for each aborted kid. Dogs can become possessed; don't keep dogs inside you home [Pelageya of Ryazan]. Walmart has technology to administer mark of the beast to those who have cat bacteria in their stomachs; stay away from cats [Afanasiy Sidyachiy]. Next false flag is the Statue of Liberty. Above earth there is ice (hemisphere); when rockets go up they bring ice down from upper sky to lower sky; ice stuck in lower sky will fall on us during Apocalypse. Earth is flat; earth stands on 3 pillars (the Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin; underneath this ice there is a bubble; and then the abyss. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Apostle John (who wrote the Book of Revelation), Enoch, Elijah, resurrected Seraphim of Sarov, and resurrected Sergius of Radonezh will preach against the antichrist. Humans were created about 7525 years ago.

    Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level; they will get out through sinkholes and lakes; to kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Scientists don't see dinosaurs under our level because of radiation. Sinkholes happen because people dig for resources underground. Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer.

    Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old [Lavrentiy Chernigovskiy]. He flies super fast; deceived people will say: "christ is here; christ is there" when he's flying from one city to the next very fast. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light. Antichrist will trick people that he can do mountain moving and resurrection using holograms; fire from the sky is real because of pollution gases in the atmosphere. Antichrist will have food only for 6 months; then he will feed his 666ed people flour from mashed up turtles (Tavrion Batozskiy), but this won't be enough because 666ed people are 10 times as angry and 7 times as hungry as normal people even though 666ed people became shorter (3-4 feet tall = 80 - 120 cm) because nanochips do function of organs (organs diminish) [Nilus Myrrhgusher]. If you have a lot of nanochips in your hand/arm, you will not be able to make proper Orthodox sign of the cross (last mercy for you will be to cut your hand off). Nanochips are sprayed by the gov't using chemtrails; they're also in gov't food and medicine; so, eat food from your own garden. In case garden is destroyed by ice from the sky, have chickens for eggs and goats for milk (Paisios). Lipstick contains cells of aborted fetuses, dog fat, and placenta; human flesh is in McDonalds, Pepsi, toothpaste, antiaging, anticancer, vaccines, etc.; that's why you should not be using anything that modern society has to offer. You're better off hiding within a 10-12 people group in order to escape Apocalypse. During Apocalypse, Chrtistians will eat dirt from under pussywillowtree as it's filled with tears of Theotokos Virgin Mary; this water will flee if a 666ed person tries to get it. Barcode is Druid black magic curse; QRcode is Mayan curse; when food is scanned, it becomes dead because laser is a substance from demons.

    Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons [Gabriel Urgebadze]. Green 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (World Passport). It doesn't just have to be during this procedure (could be anything you sign up for or anywhere where there is a secret scanner); biometrics (fingerprints, eyes scan) or getting picture for passport are very dangerous because they could mark you secretly. Basically, try to avoid new documents at all cost. Police will microchip and isotope ray people on highways. Chipped people will be influenced by computers to take grey plastic card; but when they do, green mark by isotope rays is given on forehead/wrist. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell. If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you; burn documents because they're from Satan. People who die with these Satanic documents go to concentration camp in hell to await Final Judgement; once the BEAST Computer is burned down, souls will be released for Final Judgement. That's why you should give back documents of your deceased relatives back to the gov't so that the gov't cancels these digital antichristian names given during antibaptism by the beast system; or just burn these documents because gov't could get upset and could send demons to mark you because of this outright act of defiance. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from temporary hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from temporary hell. Forgive me.

    the lower balancer on zero will always be on zero because it is bolted to the end of the crank and if the chain was on wrong you can only see that when the cover is off. number one will alway be up and if it was on wrong the it would be on the cam sprocket. the chain goes on pretty simple and the marks are easy and if it just removed and put back on and nothing is moved it is usually on correct. if it is on wrong it can still start but it will have low power or ruff running. but the distributor is likely in wrong or the plug wires are on wrong. to put it i right put the balancer at zero then put the distributor in with the rotor button pointing toward number one piston which is front drivers side. if it will not fall in and stays up like half a inche dont turn the engine to make it go in instead take a long slim screw driver and stick it down where the distributor goes in and turn the slot at the bottom of the hole (which is the oil pump) so it matches to fit the flat tip of the distributor. be very careful not to drop the screw driver do the hole. it may take a few tries an small adjustments to get it to fall in. number 1 is on the front of the distributor slightly toward the divers side with the distributor in the middle of its turning adjustment range. wires go on clock wise 18436572 and plug number 1 is front drivers side and 2 is front passengers side and then 3 is second back on drivers side and 4 is second back on passengers side and so on. on the crank the chain sprocket is small and on the cam the sprocket is bigger so when it is turned over one complete turn it turns two to one so if it does not start after all that you have to turn the crank to zero with the rotor button pointing away from number 1 like towards the firewall. then pull out the distributor out and turn the rotor button a half of turn so it is pointing toward number 1. most people just drop the distributor in how ever they fit in and start number 1 on the cap where ever it happens to be and it will run but not perfect

    I wouldn't necessarily call that a 'good deal'.

    It sounds like they effed something up while putting it back together, and now it's your problem.
