The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Trouble shoot 1950 8Ba initial start up Help

I don't know about putting the cam gear on backwards but the crank gear could certainly be slid on wrong. I have never seen a "slash" on a crank gear the 2 dots on the gears in the picture on post 48 should be prominent and I don't see that on the OP's picture.
If I was betting on anything I would guess one or both of those gears is either marked wrong or on backwards. I hope we eventually find the answer.
