Maybe I am a little thick, but I am just not getting the picture here. I have never timed a chevy 6 cylinder engine and so I have searched this forum and read through my shop manual and still have a timing quesion.

I understand the basic procedure for timing a 235 engine. What I have not been able to pin down is where on the bell housing you are looking to point your timing light? In some posts they talk about the hole on the drivers side of the bell housing on the front of the BH. But you also have the cover on the top of the BH between the engine and the tranny that allows you to see the flywheel. The triangle marking on my flywheel is on the rear side of the flywheel, which would indicate you have to point your timing light at the rear side of the flywheel. So then if I am using the cover on the top of the BH then where is the indicator mark to line up the triangle with?

Confused, but still asking....

Thanks,
Chevman
