There is a widow in the bell housing just above starter which should enable you
to see a ball embedded in the flywheel. This is what the timing light should
light on. White paint around area can help to zero in on it.
I used a 11 flywheel that came off a '62 engine of unknown origin that
doesn't have this ball but has a zero where I think the ball should be. Seems
to be working OK. Anyone else have a flywheel without the ball?
