Get the heaviest cables that you can. Some one that remembers the correct gauge will come along.
If the cables you have are extra/too long get the correct length cables because extra length adds extra resistance.
I have not changed a stovebolt flywheel. So can they go on the wrong is a go question. Though even if there is only one way a flywheel can go on it does not matter because the timing mark on the 216 has to be at the same location as the timing mark on the 1954 235. If not then you can not use the timing marks on the 216.
You would have to find a 54 235 flywheel to locate the timing mark location then use it as a guide to put the correct timing mark on your 216 flywheel.
Though if you found the right flywheel then you would not have to correct the 216 flywheel because you could just use the 54 flywheel.
But there is hope. A member here hotrodlincoln just recently did a post on how to time an engine without a timing light. Do a search or PM him and he can tell you how to find that link. Jeffrey
