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!

I relocated the timing scale to the side of the balancer and made a new mark on the balancer corresponding to 0 deg at TDC. I can then easily check with the timing light looking from underneath the car on the driver side.

That one's a good idea too, but kinda problematic (as would be my idea of the access panel in the cockpit) cause access to the dizzy is kinda difficult and thus would require two people.
