Cam install and TDC questions ???

Doing a cam swap on a 95 LT1 and according to Shoeboxes
Cam sprocket diagram #1 and #6 TDC positions are different .
But #1 and #6 TDC are both at TDC with the heads off . What
Do I do for aligning the timing set properly ?

That's right. The cam position is different for 1 and 6, but not for the crank. Line up the dots on the gears and you are all set.

Dont make it harder than it is. You will drive urself crazy if you over analize it. Dot to dot and listen to shoebox's advice/site. Its not that hard buddy.

#1 piston and #6 will be at tdc at the same time except for one will be on the compression stroke and one on the exaust stroke depending on crank postion
