[QUOTE="RichV, post: 1211520, member: 17007"] Yes, as long as its dot to dot, or whatever the markings are on your timing set, it will time correctly. There is only one dot to dot possibility. To re-install the pushrods and lifter would not matter. Remember you're moving the valvetrain but not the pistons, so you could interfere and bend a valve. So don't do that. When your timing marks align, the cam and crank are timed for the #1 compression/ignition stroke. If you have an adjustable timing set, you may want to degree the cam. The manufacturer should be able to help with that. When the ignition is 180* out you're just trying to fire on the exhaust stroke of #1, so your rotor is 180* from where it should be. You just re-stab the distributor so your rotor is pointing to the opposite side. [/QUOTE]
