Yo! It's easy for me to time this truck without ANY timing marks, and it runs GREAT right now, but I'd like to have a reference for my timing light so I know how far advanced I have set it. My harmonic balancer marks are proper for the '79 engine, but my timing cover reference marks are on the driver's side of the cover because it came from a '73 350. The '79 and '73 are timed at different locations on the engines.
I don't want to go thru turning the engine by hand against the stop, and if I just saw a pic of the engine with timing marks lined up, I could guesstimate where the static marks SHOULD be behind the waterpump.
Thanks, Todd.
