I have a 65 Chevy C20, with a 283. Ended up cracking the block. My Dad a a complete 283 sitting in one of his shed's. So I tore it down and re-used the best of what I had to build it up. Anyways, a buddy of mine gave me a new timing chain set, I installed it by lining up the timing marks as followed. The Cam sprocket mark was at the 6 O'clock position, and the Crank timing mark was at the 12 O'clock position.
Which seemed fairly simple. finished engine off, dropped in truck and she won't start. cranks over lots, getting lots of fuel, but no start.
Removed the coil to distributor wire off top of distributor cap, held to intake and cranked, there was spark. Removed #1 plug wire stuck a screw driver in the end of it and rested against block and cranked engine over, again there was spark. Dad figures I'm out 180 degrees and I'm firing on the intake stroke. Any thought's
