I got the front of the motor pulled apart today and the chain has more than an inch of slack in it. The dots on the sprockets show that the cam is about 20 degrees retarded.
The crank dot is at the top and the balancer mark was at 0 when I pulled things apart. At least this was spot on.
Thanks for the pontiac website, it had a lot of good info. One person on a pontiac board recommended straight up, but the link you gave makes 4 deg advanced look real good, although it will probably put me closer to detonation.
It took less than an hour to strip the front of the motor, but it will take a lot longer to put it back together. Since it is apart all the pulleys, accessories, brackets, etc will be re finished.
