 Mark,

I have a 1974 J-H. If I understand correctly, then, my exhaust cam gear is mounted backward, since it is marked with 110 In and 115 Ex. It is impossible, the way the gears are mounted, to match 110 In with 110 Ex, as there is no 110 Ex on the exhaust cam gear (or the intake cam gear, for that matter).

If I'm correct, then what I'll do is set crank gear to TDC, remove cam belt (NOT moving gears, of course), and flip the exhaust cam gear over. Then I'll match 110 In on the intake cam gear with 115 Ex on the exhaust cam gear. Hopefully, it lines up pretty closely to where the cams already are, since it's running OK now (not great, but OK).

Thanks,
Ken
