Owning a Renegade converted sbc 914, I've often wondered how other owners have solved the problem of not being able to see the timing marks on the harmonic balancer.
What was/is your solution (other than timing by ear)?
Thanks!

Cut the shelf and add an access hole in the firewall. I cut all the shelf out, all the way around. The shelf is to seal off the air cooled engine. It's just in the way for a SBC.

Yep, that's what I opted for. I cut the shelf and now have excellent access to the pulleys. Need to make a simple indicator, use my dial indicator to find tdc and mark it.
All good in the neighborhood :-)
