I have a problem with camshaft timing, couldn´t get the engine to run properly after rebuild. It was firing to exhaust and to carb. Now I have disassembled the engine again. I checked the timing, it should be right, but after studying my 56 car shopmanual and 61 truck shopmanual, there is conflict with timing the camshaft. In the 56 manual the picture says that the keyway in crankshaft is on one o´clock and in camshaft seven o´clock. But the 61 manual picture says that in crankshaft and camshaft the keyways are on one o´clock. In the engine the keyways are now like 61 manual says. I don´t remember how it was before the rebuild. Camshaft is the same that was there. Engine is from 60 Fairlane, but it is not original. Probably a truck block (Truck timing cover) and Mercury ECZ-G heads (were ivory painted ).
