Default Help with a timing question

I'm sure there is a topic about this somewhere in the forums, but.


I went to do the timing for my mustang and was looking for a mark that I use to line up the numbers, is there a pic to what I use to time my car to a mark? I dont see it.

Timing pointer is in the 10 oclock position. Timing marks are on dampner.

the highest point on the timing pointer should say "TIME" right on it.

you may also have to sand down your balancer a little bit with a SOS pad to see the timing marks

My balancer is new with white on numbers, but thats what I want to know is where should I see the TIME or do I have to clean it.
