92 pickup 3.0 timing problems
I got a 92 pickup with the 3.0 and I just built a new motor for it. But when I put the timing. Belt on one of the cam gears rolled out a tooth. Can I adjust that out at the distributer or do I need to redo the timing belt process?

You have to keep the cams in time with the crank.You cant adjust it at the distributor.Move the cam back one tooth.

You've got two cams,now one is out of time with the crank,one in time.How would the doing it at the distributor work?When we do timing belts on anything. We mark the old timing belt at three places,and each pulley.Remove the belt and transfer the marks to the new belt.Then install the new belt.Takes a extra minute, but you know your right when your done.Also you dont have to put the engine at TDC.

Thanks for the tip that was almost what I did in the beginning except I didn't mark the belt and when I.pulled the slack out of the belt with the tensioned pulley that is when the cam jumped a tooth.
