timing chevette 1.6 crank to camFirst, set the timing mark on the crankshaft to zero. Then remove the distribular cap. Look to see if the rotor is pointing to # 1 spark plug wire termenal. If not, turn the crankshaft all the way around, and line up the marks again. REMOVE TIMMING BELT COVER. look at the top spocket of the camshaft, there is a drilled hole in it. appox. 1/8" . Line up that hole with the hole in the back cover, appox. one oclock on the camshaft .use a drill bit to check, put the bit in though the camshaft drilled hole , and into the back plate. the bit should go though both holes. if so ,then the camshaft is timmed to the crankshaft. Now all that is left is to double check that the rotor is pointing to number one. put the cap back on and throw away the belt cover..

How do you replace a diesel engine Chevy Caprice classic?

Whatever you do don't buy a junkyard diesel engine. The 350 car diesel was built off of a 350 gas engine at the time. So it did not work well and was very unreliable. I would suggest rebuilding your old diesel, or purchasing a new orre manufactured unit from GM. Theses routes will fix the common problems that made these engines hideously unreliable. GM basically killed most diesel engine car production with this unreliable engine. Everyone assumed every diesel was this bad. That is not the case, most other diesel's such as the Chevette 1.8 Isuzu diesel, and the VW diesel's of the time are very good. Hope I didn't sound preachy, I was just trying to help.
