Hello

I have put a Pertronix module in my distributor. I cannot see the timing marks on the blower cage. Isn't there suppose to be a TDC mark on the flywheel I can use?

Also, I have carbs on the engine, if that makes a difference.

Thank you.

Another thing you can do is to rotate the engine by hand to the timing mark and make your own timing mark the back side of the flywheel through the hole in the "bell housing" part of the crankcase on the right side of the car. It's a little harder to get to on an injected engine.
