For whatever reason this motor I have is missing the timing marks. Shouldn't there be a little plate there right below the pulley that mounts off of two of the front oil pan bolts? Does a repro exist for this plate? I can't for the life of me find one for sale online... Thanks for any help!
there are a couple of junkyard cars near me. I could see about pulling one for you.
Thanks for the offer! How 'bout a pair of intake manifolds? I was able to order it through SNG and the rep said it should only take a week or so to get. It's a cheap part and don't mind paying for a new one.

0 is, I believe, TDC on A1 piston.
I was speaking of the location of the mark on the timing gauge under the crank. That gauge is oriented with 0 at the dead bottom of the pulley. I think. I haven't had a chance to look yet.
If I'm correct then you could, I don't know, glue a protractor on?

Apologies for my misunderstanding. The actual timing marker scale is on slotted holes and is slightly adjustable. So to get it dead accurate it is best to ensure A1 is at TDC and then align the scale's 0 mark to the crank mark.
Some years have slotted, adjustable gauges. Mine is the style in the illustration above. These type are not slotted and can only be mounted in one position.
