Does any body know how to set the cam and crank on a dodge 318 when changing broken timing chain?

Set the dot on the crank gear at 12 o%26#039;clock with the dot on the cam gear at 6 o%26#039;clock when piston #1 is at TDC with distributor at 11 o%26#039;clock (spark plug for cylinder #1). The cam gear has a secondary mark, so don%26#039;t confuse it with the primary timing dot. Use a ruler or straight-edge to assist you in making sure the timing dots are aligned.|||you should have a firing seq. on your block. follow that to set your pistons. then chain
