I just got my 4x4 conversion/tranny swap driving and took it for a little test drive. Came home and tried to check the base timing (spout removed) since it was fully up to operating temperature. I couldnt' find the crankshaft marks, so I shut off the engine, located the marks, cleaned them good, and painted them with white paint. Re-started the engine, pointed the timing light at the crankshaft pulley and still no marks. Found them on the driver's side of the pulley, seemingly 180* give or take off from where they should be! Can't remember from when I had the crank pulley bolt/washer off if there is more than one groove in the crank and pulley.
Engine runs good and idle speed and crank decrease when I remove the spout connector.
Is is possible to install the 2.9 crank pulley 180* or any other amount off from where it should be?
