    No, the timing set I had was for a 74 302, not a 289. And the HIPo's had the extra weight on the crank, not the cam. I'm not the only person that has noticed the differences, I'm not sure why you keep arguing with me.

    Makes no difference, you still got a "thin" timing set meant for a Hi-Po motor. I can put a 50 oz 5.0 crank in that 69 block and it'll line up as it should. I have no other cranks now to try it with, all that I did have got tossed in the scrap last time I brought a load to sell.
