Timing mark

I just purchased a 1956 Oldsmobile convertible and was going to check the timing.
I see a rubber pointer sticking out. Is that the spot I should be lining up with? I don’t
see any other markings.

If the post by tnswt doesn't answer your question, could you post a picture of what your car has on it?
