there should be little dots on the crank and cam gears.... just line them up when you put the cam and the timing chain on and you should be good. the cam gear you cant screw up because it has a dowel the goes into the cam gear and the crank is keyed so it gets pressed on the right spot... very easy

Since this category is 305-350, I'll have to assume that YOUR engine is one of the two mentioned. The 1990 Chev 305 and 350 did not use a timing belt. They used a timing chain, and unless something really odd happened, you should never need to replace the timing chain until you rebuild the engine.
