Cam gear marks

[Anonymous-0]

Rebuilding a 1951 G and I"m putting in a new/re-ground cam . So my question is, Is there some type of cam shaft, cam gear timing marks on the gear? I see the crankshaft timing mark but no mark for putting the cam shaft on the gear. Is the only there only one bolt pattern to line up?

Im more into the older open flywheel unstyled tracors butttttttttt doesnt your flywheel still have the LHE (Left hand Exhaust) timing mark similar to the Left Hand Impulse??????

If so and if the flywheels on the correct crank spline, you set the cam gear so that when the flywheels LHE mark is at 3 o clock lined up with the mark on side of tractor THE LEFT SIDE EXHAUST VALVE IS JUST TIGHTENED UP READY TO START TO OPEN

I think thats right NO WARRANTY then once the cam is correct to crank you set the govenor gear so when the flywheels LHI is at 3 o clock the open female slot in govenor shaft end (where mag or dist mates) is flat horizontal fore n aft

You can bolt the cam up any way to want, the holes always line up. That's why I always mark the cam.

the cam gear will only bolt up one way it has a dowel pin so only fits one place on the cam

Mine has nothing on it, that's kinda different.

How did you time the cam to the gear?

I marked it before I took it apart. I'll snap a picture for you so you can see the location of the lobes relative to the timing mark.
