As the title states, I need a picture of a "clean" or easily readable timing marker. I went to check the timing last night on the car, and I can't read the designations on the damn thing. I don't want to assume they are each a 10 degree increment. I can see all the etched in line, just not the numerical designations. Can't really get in there to clean the thing off, without removing the belts, and fan, even then it's not easy.

Maybe if anyone has found a creative sort of a way to get in there and remove the light corrosion I could try it, but sandpaper and my fingers from underneath the car doesn't seem to work too well.

If no one posts a picture, I believe you will find one in your Chassis Service Manual.

Just found one online. In the process of printing it out.

Run to Rund

The steel 350-455 tab has four saw teeth, at 0, 4, 8, 12 deg BTDC. The edge of the tab is 14 deg.

Starting at which side? Driver or passenger?

Run to Rund

Since the engine rotates clockwise looking at the front of it from the radiator, more advance is toward the passenger side, on the top of the damper.
