The timing marks for your crankshaft are on the crankshaft pulley. You will probubly have to clean it off. On the inside edge of pulley, look for 2, maybe 3 notches, then an inch or so away from those notches, { don't remember which direction, so ck. both ways }, you will find a lone notch. When you locate them, paint the ones that are together. Like outside ones, paint red, inside one paint yellow, if there are 3. Paint the lone notch White. The lone notch you use for "TOP DEAD CENTER". The other notches are for use when you set the timing. Good Luck ! Let us know how you make out. Ted-e-d
