I recently installed an electronic ignition replacing the point and condensoer. Now I want to check the timing but I can't find any timing marks on the fan! I see the notch in the housing but even when I align the rotor to the #1 lead and look at the fan I cannot see any timing marks not the TDC mark never mind the 27.5 before TDC. Has anyone run across this and what is the solution?

Thanks

I think the Pelican Parts website has an article about timing marks in its technical subsection. The early cars had three (3) timing marks for TDC, 8 degrees static, and full advance at 2800rpm with vacuum hoses disconnected and plugged. Some engines only had one timing mark; I have a cooling fan from a 1.8 liter like that.
