I just replaced my plug wires today along with timing it. Got it running real nice now. I'm suprised your doesn't have a number 1 on the cap, it might be hard to read, you may have missed it. I was trying to remember the order of the cylinder numbers today and I'm drawing a blank.

Yeah just order the right gear and take it to a machine shop to be pressed on.

I wasnt sure about your cam but its a good thing you never fired her up.

It wouldnt have been pretty i assure you!
