When pulling apart my '58 270 for a re-ring and new bearings, I had a hard time finding any kind of timing mark on the fiber cam gear. After cleaning and close inspection I found what I believe to be timing marks . Am I right in thinking the partial circle mark is the timing mark I'm looking for?

Is that mark after the 13th tooth counting clock ways straight out from the key?
If so than that is the mark.

I'll have to check on that tomorrow. So, to be sure, I should count 13 teeth clock ways straight out from the key, then line up the next following gap with the timing marks on the crank gear?

That is correct.
I did not use a straight edge just eye balled it, but I think your circle will be in that spot.
