Jim is right.

It is also common to find timing sets that are marked wrong, I have found them myself, the key ways in the crank gear were not correctly marked.

I prefer the "Fast-A-Just" Cloyes set. I use the crank gear to get the set baselined so that with the cam gear set to zero, the cam is either straight up, or advanced per the grinder's instructions. Then I move the cam with the cam gear.

If you use a "Hex-A-Just", make certain you back off every rocker before making an adjustment, or you'll be calling Cloyes to get a new hex bushing. In fact, I'd call and by a spare or two to keep with the car, before I ever put one on.
