I don't know what putting the timing gear on wrong would do or if it could be done and compensated for. You will figure it out by removing dizzy and set it back in with no.1 at TDC on compression. Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
