If ya have it dead nutz.. (I would)
Messix is correct. Come to think of it... To time the engine with a timing light.. You are going to HAVE TO KNOW exactly where TDC is. So the pointer is accurately reflecting the TDC or whatever degree BTC your balancer is supposed to show.. Else your gunna be stuck timing it by feel...
