Hello All!
 
RN> Calling all timing experts!
 
RN> A neighbor of mine has a 2002 (I think) Chevy with a V-6 engine and he

I looked through all the specs that I have available and did not find any
GM V6 engines that time off the #6 plug. I agree that the distributer must
have been installed improperly. If it is a distributerless engine the
camshaft could have been timed 180 degrees out.
