Jeff is the best at what he does, but if he ever runs out of these, just take a 
piece of aluminum about 2 inches long, drill a 5/16 hole in one end, cut or 
grind the other to a point, bend it 90 degrees just below the hole, remove the 
timing cover bolt and washer at the 9 o'clock position under the alternator 
bracket, put the pointer under that bolt. Dab some white paint/whiteout/nail 
polish on the point. Resist the urge to use a cut up beer can for this, 
although it would probably work.

Find TDC via valve position (#4 intake valve just opening, exhaust valve 
closing). Verify underneath the car, if you like, that the timing mark is at 
TDC (you'll never need to do that again after you're done). Stand where you 
would be next to the car if you were shooting the timing and dab paint on the 
crank pulley in your line of sight with the remote pointer. Use a dial back 
timing light and you only need the TDC mark.
