Yes, but what everyone is trying to tell you is that FIRST when you remove and install the cam you must be very careful! Go easy, DO NOT FORCE IT. You need to be very gental if you nick the cam or the cam bearing even ever so slightly you run a very good chance of trashing the motor! When removing installing you will need to carefully rotate the cam as it can hang-up on the lobes and bearings. Also when you install it use pleanty of lube on the bearing!
Also keep everything very clean! Any dirt or grit that gets in there can quickly destroy an engine.
Once the cam is installed, you rotage the crank so that the dot on the crank gear is straight up ( 12 o'clock ). The cam is installed with the dot on the cam gear facing straight down ( 6 o'clock ). So both dots need to be exactly pointing at each other. They cannot be off, if one tooth off the engine will not run properly.
When you do this the distributors gets installed with the rotor pointing towards the #1 spark plug which should put you close for you base timing for start up.
