Re: Timing problems
All 289's have the #1 cyl at the passenger side front. Pointer is on the driver side top. Pull the #1 plug and hold your finger over the spark plug hole while someone "bumps" the starter. When the compression "squishes" the air past your finger, the pointer should be near TDC. If not, then the balancer is misoriented or something else is wrong. If that's all correct, then procede as mentioned earlier.
