XTD flywheel has no timing marks... are there other methods of setting timing?

[deevergote]

The title says it all... my new 12lb flywheel has no timing marks. I marked the dizzy before I took it off, so it's running just fine now... but when the time comes for adjusting the timing, or replacing the dizzy, it's going to be a pain! Are there other ways to do it?

This is a good question because my Exedy didnt have any when i installed it.

and i was looking at my craftsman catalog and found this Innova digital timng gun, for 149 bucks. Can read about it at this link, i cant find it at sears.com

I saw it in your swap thread, which reminded me. I should've looked to see if you posted about it!

Juan, that sounds like a good idea. I think I've seen that around my way.

Never had to do this but here's what I suggest:

Cylinder 1 should be at TDC when your timing marks (the one that should be on the flywheel) are on the indexer. So, pull the plug in cylinder 1 and place a clean wood dowel or something like that down through the plug hole, and touch the top of the piston, make a mark on the dowel near the top of the valve cover for reference. Have a buddy turn the crank from the end pulley with a ratchet/breaker bar and when the dowel reaches it's highest point you're at TDC on #1. Then, scratch a mark in the new flywheel....

But how would you know where 15*BTDC is

That's why I bumped ILBB's Thread.
If we can't get any info from them we're all stuffed.

At least I can say this is only the 2nd time I've done this! (posting without searching... )

Ya, I'm not sure why your asking. I thought the dude was looking for TDC, not 15* BTDC.....
