This may cause idling and performance problems when installing aftermarket camshafts. Eliminate this problem by installing a pre-1972 crankshaft sprocket, (the non-retarded sprocket will have the alignment dot and keyway slot directly in line with each other), or by degreeing in your camshaft, or with appropriate Crane timing chain and gear set. |
