There is a triangle on some flywheels.

Yes to the triangle. There might also be a vertical scribe ("chisle") mark near the triangle, but I think the triangle is the proper timing mark.

Or you could vacuum time it & not worry about the markings on the flywheel.

The triangle is used to check cam timing. I think if you look close to the left of the triangle you will find the ball.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
