New head gasket

If you are absolutely sure that the sprockets on the cam are meshed with the same links on the chain then you are ok. Other wise you may be a link or two off in advance or retard direction. This will result in a problem.

The best thing to do now is to continue with the chain attachment (assuming head is torques down) then remove the wood (keep valve cover off) then :

1, Turn the crank using a big socket. (hopefully the valves will not hit the pistons so be careful and stop if you feel any interference)

2. Do 2 revolutions then align the timing mark on the damper to 0 degree mark and the \ / angles for cylinder 1 lobes (you know what I mean) "TDC"

3. Check the cam sprocket alignment reference and triangle marks. If the triangle and reference marks are close then you are good. If they are significantly to the right or left then you must remove the cam sprocket (using wood again), then re-install the cam sprocket rotated either way so that the dash and the triangle line-up. See the picture below.

I need to do the accomplish the distributor time alignment and do not have the bracket that indicate the degrees as the picture you provide. Where can i purchase this part? How is it called?
