If I set the adjustable timing light to 27 degrees, remove and plug the vacuum lines and wind the engine above 3500, should the timing mark line up in the peep hole on the shroud? Am I on the right track?

Do all stock flywheels have a mark at TDC?

I know there is a mark on the fan. What degree it's set at, is yet to be determined.

However.

With the light dialed to 27, and the lines pinched, revving to 3500 and above, the mark lines up with the notch in the peep hole. I know I shouldn't assume, but that says it's TDC to me.

If it was the 27 degree mark, the car would have a slew of other issues, no? it starts fine, idles nice, is fairly quick (I've been bagging on it).

However

It seems to be running a bit hot. The temp gauge runs between the M and the P on the gauge (and on the hot day yesterday the needle was at the end of the P)

Is there an accurate place to get a temperature from?
