Setting a motor in

[tomtoc]

The indent has nothing to do with timing. Look more closely at your harmonic balancer, there's actual numbers and marks that are etched into it, they can be hard to see.

You'll want to grab some white/yellow chalk or a colored pencil also works, and mark 10* BTC, then use the timing light and rotate the distributor until the mark lines up with the arrow attached to the block.

he helped me with this a few months ago. i was looking on the "sidewall" of the "tire". the marks are where the "tire" hits the road. it looks like a tiny ruler when you find it

Yeah, I didn't even know it was there until Chris and I worked it out over the phone one day. It's HARD to find. If you don't know it's there, you'd never see it.

Yea they are hard to see. I went over em with some sand paper but they are still kinda hard to read.

I played with mine until it was good and straight.

Fixed it for ya...
