I think the chevy guy lined the keyway straight up instead of about the 2:00 position. Which would put the mark right about where it should be

Yes I degreed the stock regrind purple shaft cam when I put it back together and it was definitely several teeth off. It was “rebuilt” back in ‘08 and had never been started. At least that’s what the rods and main bearings were dated

My 383 was rebuilt in 2023 and I used nos bearings from 1981 so I wouldn’t rely on that just saying.
I learned this lesson can apply to the entire car. Both of my old Mopars had been through various levels of disassembly before I bought them. They (especially my 67) were apparently just thrown together in order to get them running to sell them. Nothing was bolted tight on the 67. It was probably 6 months before I got all the bolts tightened up and upside down rocker shafts changed out. The 66 was bolted together a little better but obviously had been sitting for many years with a partially fried wiring harness, bad instrument voltage regulator, corroded heater core, etc.
