I need to know what position the timing needs set to.
Have been told that there are 3 marks that need aligned: Crankshaft and each Cam Gear.

See pics looks like they are not very good so maybe putting white chalk on them will help.

Thanks for your effort, so far.
From the pics, I cannot tell where the timing (degree) should be set.
Have you a link or anything that might better describe this? I'd be ever so grateful!

It is always set with engine at tdc. Least yours is. That means #1 at top dead center. And follow the diagram
