I've been doing research on Computer Controlled timing and it appears that the mark that is there right After Top Dead Center is ideal for the computer to start it's magic. In my case since I went with a non computer controlled distributor, I will have to adjust the timing without the aid of timing marks unless I change the timing belt cover and add a pointer for an eight inch harmonic balancer, which I'm not going to do. I figured I have two choices here, use a vacuum gauge to get the best possible reading and turn it back a notch to be on the safe side or I can play it by ear. I did a friend's Monte Carlo that way since the timing light couldn't see any marks lining up at all and it's been running great! I've always been able to fix everybody else's car except mine. I wonder if anyone else gets this voodoo. I will keep you posted. I'm going to figure it out especially for all those that might want to make this conversion.
