Yes i read that forum i need to know where to buy.the little timeing mark.

John, the point that I believe Enigma was trying to make is that your engine may be one of those that has the notch plate on the driver side, and that you don't need one for the passenger side. Note Arne's post regarding the three engines he's dealt with (#5)

Set your timing using the notch plate you've got, and go from there.

Here is one for the left (drivers) side.

At tdc and timeing marks where thay go it runs good but the timeing marks show where the left side mark should go.

Actually the link was simply a pointer to a thread that contained relevant information, and was meant to avoid continuing yet another redundant thread. Now that we have a little more info, it sounds like you're using an older pulley on a newer engine (some speculation here) and probably do need the right side pointer. No idea where to get one but ebay is always a good place to look as was pointed out above.

thank you i did look but i cant find the pointer.But i guess i can buy a newer pully ne ideas again not on ebay.

could you post some pictures of how it all looks

here are some pictures of the problem.the first one is the missing marker off the right side.number 2 is the timeing markes on the left side. the third picture is the book showing the pic of the timeing mark .the last pic tels you a little more.

John, take off the crankshaft pulley bolt, you don't have to take off the pulley, the key notch shall point straight up towards the head cover, now you have TDC, if the marks on the pulley don't match up with the marker then make your own TCD mark, remember to touqe the bolt 86 - 116 lb-ft.
