Stupid me. I forgot to tell you what TO do, that is, if you want to "fix" the shaft. I'ts been a long time since I've done this, but I believe you can just turn it by using a big screwdriver in the slot in the gear. I believe that will make the gear "turn up" the helical gear on the cam. The gear and shaft simply drops in, turns down into the cam gear, and then you put the distributor in.
If you decide to "fix" the gear, you want it so that after it spirals down into place, the slot --according to the book--points to the FRONT intake bolt on the drivers side head.
Frankly, I don't know if I'd bother. What makes you think the timing is off, is the distributor vacuum advance turned way front/ rear?
Have you checked the marks on the front balancer? (Use a positive stop) Does it "kick back" on start, or backfire?
