Ok, I wanted to do my timing today. I cleaned the balancer off and found the timing marks with no problem. My question is where is the the pointer or marker? I was not the only one that could not find it. Is it possible that it has come off? Why is something so simple such a pain in the ***?

 

it is on the passenger side of the motor like right above the balancer..im pretty sure its held on by 2 bolts i dont know how it could come off

 

Anyone have a pic of this buy chance? Thanks for the info blkonblk.

 

 

Mine does NOT have that. WTF? How is that possible?

 

Maybe the timing cover has been off and the pointer was never put back on.

 

If you can't find it in a J/Y hunt.....check it at http://johnsmustang.com/Catalog/3079/

 

Here is a pic of mine before I replaced the balancer...

 

Yep, I think I remember the guy telling me that he put a gear drive in the timing chain. Does that sound right? I guess he never put the marker back on. I am going to have to buy one. Thanks for the link and all the help.
