    Timing questions while at TDC

    I can align all my marks just fine, and my engine is at TDC blah blah blah. What I'm wondering is what position should the cams be facing when at TDC? Should the cylinder 1 lobes be pointed up and slightly towards each other? Or a different position? Why do the cam gears have 3 holes if we're...

    I installed my Idle air control valve, but have no idea what tubes connect to it.
