Bring the motor to TDC, the cam pin should be at the very top or very bottom, rotate the crank till you get it to the top (12:00 o'clock position).  If you are not getting the cam to 12:00 o'clock and the crank to TDC, your cam is off and you'll need to drop the cam gear and advance/retard the cam to get them ligned up.  Be sure when you check the cam alignement that the chain is -tight- turning clockwise, there can be as much as 1 full tooth in slack so if you are not tight, you can get the cam

Has anyone tried adapting one of these spoilers to fit a starquest?  I thought that the Daytona spoiler would be much better looking than the stock pieces (the wing above the body is sharp IMO), but I couldn't exactly mold one myself.  Anyone here good with fiberglass able to form one to fit the Quest?
