Is it possible that my Chevy 350 camshaft has been installed 180 degrees off but still runs?

no Clarification (From somebody else)
It's possible (not likely) that the camshaft could be off by one TOOTH and still run, but if you've lined up the dots connecting the cam and crank, you'd know that immediately but it CAN'T run if the crankshaft is 180 out. Since the crank turns twice as fast as the cam (2 revolutions of the crank for every revolution of the cam), TECHNICALLY if you think the camshaft is 180 out, just turn the crankshaft 180 then the camshaft is back in.
Check the distributor alignment and the compression.

Where does the timing gear marks line up on a 1998 Chevy pickup 350 Do they line up ever revolution or can they be 180 off?
The camshaft turns at half the speed of the crankshaft. If you count the gears, you should find that there are twice as many on the camshaft. If you line up the marks at TDC, then turn the crankshaft 360 Degrees, you should find that the camshaft has turned 180 degrees. So, every time the crankshaft turns back around to TDC, the camshaft will turn 180 degrees and if that's what your're seeing, then everything is normal.
