Default Question on installing the timing chain & advancing the cam. pics

First here are the specs on the motor

400 .040 over
8.7:1 compression
#62 heads, filled crossover, light port work
long 4tube headers & flowmaster exaust
RAIV cam
1.65 roller rockers
performer RPM intake
speed demon 750 dp (or holley 750 vac secondary)
MSD dist
th350 with 3k stall
3.73 gear

I bought the car and the motor was "rebuilt" with 500 miles but it was an absolute disaster and I had to rebuild the motor again. I'm reusing some of the parts since they have so few miles on them. The first picture is of how the camshaft was originally installed.

Was it installed straight up, advanced, or retarded? Cause I have no idea



Here is a better picture of the gear itself. I have no idea how to install this thing, or what the markings on the crank gear mean.


Should I install the crank straight up or 4* advanced?
