When i got the car 4 years ago i took the crank pulley off and put a EMPI pulley on but the numbers are getting hard to see with the timing light.i have two questions. is before TDC to the left side of TDC looking at the pulley.and also I'm thinking about putting the pulley back on that was on the motor when i got the car. but they only have one notch on the back edge of it.they do have like a dimple on the top rolled front edge its a little to the right of the notch thats on the back part. is that normal only to have one notch?because with that you don't have a choice with the timing mark.[img][/img]

the motor spins clockwise so BTDC would be to the right side of the TDC mark, your stock pulley only has the marks needed to time the "stock" motor as it came from the factory,, if you do A search for timing wheel? I think thats it lol, you can print out A paper wheel with all the timing marks on it, use it as A template to mark your pulley as needed..
