[ranger450]

Am putting together a 3.0 from scratch, i have the shortblock ready to go and now i want to install the Camshaft Position Sensor, #1 cylinder is at TDC but i read somewhere that it needs to 10 degrees ATDC to install. anybody done a 3.0 build before that can help. am not to sure how to do it?
