On some other makes/models of engine that are more common than Y-blocks the crank & cam timing chain marks can be in line with each other and may also do double duty and are related to cyl 1 TDC...
But
not on the Y-block engine.
To someone more familiar with these other engines
the Y-block timing chain installation seems somehow 'wrong', leading to all this confusion.
The still image attached below is for another model of Ford engine, from the video link posted by KULTULZ, at approx 20 seconds.
It applies to at least one other well known make of engine as noted in the narration of the video.
