[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 16330280, member: 8854"] Dialing in the timing marks is easier on cars that have markings on the damper as you can target 20 degrees etc. or something where the car idles much better. But when that is not an option I use a piston stop to find TDC and once I have it I put a small paint mark on the damper and timing cover in whatever spot is clear and easy to see. Fire up the car and now you need to set the MS3 to 0 degrees timing, since it was at TDC, and then dial in the offset. On one car I even purchased some timing tape from Summit Racing and after locating TDC and centering the tape I now had some marks from -20 to +20 degrees. It was a delicate and long process to get everything cleaned up, get the tape to stick and be accurate etc. Since then I've just done the 0 degree at TDC method. Unless the car has damper markings like the fox bodies etc. Those are easiest. [/QUOTE]
