On your new chain and rear set, just make sure you have the #1 cylinder at TDC and line up the timing marks on the gears.
Should be fine unless you get into degreeing the cam.
WHat are you going to do with the gear drive set-up????

It was a 4 gear set up and I swapped it to a friend that works at part store for stock parts etc. Gave him a deal for his 55 Chevy hot rod now he owes me.

for $125.(new)
