Ok, either I am dumb, confused or a combination of both.
I am having some other issued with my car and decided to recomfirm timing once again. I went back to the pelican web site to make sure i got it right, then run into this. I was able to fing my timing mark on the impeller. I first followed the main instructions with thr first picture, showing how to to mark the 27 btdc Then at the end there is a post by the much respectable Dave, showing an impeller with both the tdc and 27drgree btdc. (see pic #2) the blue arrow shows factory tdc, red shows factory 27btdc, according to the instructions and template, should'nt 27btdc on the brown arrow? |

I think the confusion maybe, that in the top picture the fan is turned around. The front of the engine is at the bottom of the picture. In other words if you turned the picture 180 degrees the advance marks would be on the proper side of the factory TDC mark. |

They are at the same position, on the top picture, the top dead center mark looks like a notch as on the impeller it is a mark. the notch on the impeller is actually the 27btdc. I hope I got it right this time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |
