ok i put the things in and cant seem to get the timing right, ok put the engine to TDC got that, distrubuitor to #1 got that, now line up marks on chain dont got that seems that the mark on the intake side has rubbed off, the exhaust side has a yellow link so its easy to line that up, my question is how many links to the intake cam mark?? and a nother weird thing i knoticed about the previous set up was it was set up like this

/link/link/mark/link/link/ timing chain
_/-\_/-\_/-\_/-\_/-\ _ cam sprocket
...................0
