Disconnect the vacuum advance hose on the distributor and plug the hose with a screw. Start the engine. Shine the timing light at the harmonic balancer timing mark on the driver's side of the engine. Read the number on the timing plate adjacent to the timing mark on the balancer. The initial timing should be 4 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). If the mark is adjacent to a higher number BTDC, the distributor must be rotated clockwise to bring it down to 4 degrees. If the number is lower or after top dead center (ATDC), turn the distributor counterclockwise.
Mark the timing mark on the harmonic balancer with the white marker to make it more visible for the timing light. Look for the long straight line on the balancer and mark this. Look at the timing plate on the driver's side of the timing chain cover. Notice that it has a V cut in the center of the marker plate -- this is top dead center on the compression stroke. The numbers to the left of the V, looking at the engine from the front, are degrees of advance or how many degrees before top dead center. The numbers to the right of the V are degrees after top dead center. You always want to have the timing advanced or before top dead center.
Connect the timing light by connecting the black lead to the negative battery posts and red lead to the positive battery post. Lay the wires across the top of the radiator or intake manifold so they don't get caught in the fan. Connect the carbon connector probe to the number 1 cylinder spark plug wire by pressing on the connector handle and placing the jaws over the wire and allowing the jaws to close. [links]
Ignition timing is used to ignite the fuel in an internal combustion engine at a particular time in an effort to burn as much of the fuel as possible in the power stroke. Complete combustion of the fuel would be ideal, however, given the inefficiency of the engine, this is very difficult. Timing is adjusted to maximize the fuel burn as much as possible. Fuel takes a certain amount of time to burn. As the engine rpm increases the time the fuel remains in the engine decreases exponentially, thus ignition timing is advanced to allow more time for combustion. here
Turn the engine off. Loosen the distributor hold down clamp using a wrench. Start the engine and rotate the distributor as outlined previously. Walk around to the driver's side and check the timing to see if you moved the distributor enough to place the timing mark on the 4-degree mark BTDC. Keep adjusting the distributor until 4 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) is achieved. here
Tighten the distributor hold down bolt using the distributor wrench. Pull the screw out of the vacuum advance hose and reconnect the hose to the distributor. [links]
Madmax2, are you saying that you machined a new shoulder on the front side of the flywheel - or that the shoulder was already there?

It is a common field fix to pop off the ring gear and turn it around, when the ring gear gets chewed up on one side - particularly on construction equipment. [links]
THATS the most likely answer to the problem, many late model trucks and cars came with the smaller 153 tooth design flywheel,there are 168 tooth size flywheels and flex plates also.
keep in mind that you CAN,T always change due to bell housing and clearance or ballance issues, or clutchs used. but in many cases you can swap. Ive always vastly prefered the 168 size when a choice was available and smaller gear reduction starters as they have a big advantage in leverage in spinning an engine with large displacement and high compression ratios
NOTICE THE DUAL MOUNT HOLES
A normal car flywheel has a machined diameter with a shoulder that the ring gear seats against from the front. Wouldn't madmax's flywheel have had that on the rear instead?
Look up your vehicle engine size and statistics in an owner's repair manual for the exact make, year, and model of your vehicle. Engine rotation -- either standard or reverse -- will be listed under engine statistics and performance. Chances are good that your engine is standard and rotates counterclockwise.
Engine, or crankshaft rotation, is the direction the engine spins: either clockwise or counterclockwise. Most vehicles have the standard rotation, counterclockwise. Only a few vehicles, such as early Hondas and the American-made Chevrolet Corvair flat-six, had reverse rotation, or right-hand spin in a clockwise direction. If you want to determine the turning direction of an engine, there are a few things to look for.
Raise the vehicle with a floor jack and place two jack stands under the rear frame and two jack stands under the front frame. more
Raise the hood of the vehicle and disconnect the ignition coil wire from the coil or coil pack. Put the transmission selector in neutral or park, depending upon your transmission type. Set the emergency brake.
