If I remember right there were 2 marks on the pulley, so make sure you have the correct one. The pointer on the engine was easy to spot looking down from the air box area, if you find the right spot. It is possible your timing pointer is missing if you cannot find it.
Here is a pic of a cover on Ebay. The left in the pic, is the bottom on the engine.
