HELLO FORD BARN FOLKS
Can anyone tell me,is top dead center on #1 cyl. the same as the timing marks on the cam shaft & crank shaft ? This is on A 35 V8 Ford.
Thanks for your help.

I haven't checked so I can't tell you for certain. Since the timing is for cam to crankshaft relationship it doesn't really matter unless you have one of the old press on gears and it has slipped. Ford has a procedure for checking cam timing with a dial indicator on the No. 1 cylinder intake valve and it tells a person what the reading should be within a range. This can be done with the timing cover on but the intake manifold and the right cylinder head have to be removed to check it.
