Just got the 1960 235 all buttoned up in the 52 chevy, we used a kit from langdon's to put a modern gm overdrive trans. Now that I am putting the distibutor, and harmonic balancer back in I realized we have no tdc marks on the balancer.
I know there are the little marks on the distributor, but that doesn't leave any provisions for timing it while running , or where to stab the distributor. I know I can watch the rockers and stick my finger in the spark plug hole, but that's not very exact.
What have you guys done?
(the original motors were timed off the flywheel through the trans bell houseing, I am told, in case anyone was wondering)
Thanks.....
