I told you guys I would make that truck run! Just need to fine tune my timing now, but I dunno what the marks are... I'm hoping someone else has a similar marker and can tell me what everything means...

using a timing light, line the mark on your balancer up with the notch indicated by the line. that will be 8* BTDC. that's generally about the point where most small block Chevys are happy.

Can of Carb cleaner or Brake cleaner, rag, long screw flat head screw driver. There are numbers on the timing tab it the pic you show they are just hiding under dirt. Clean the tab of and you should see the numbers. Im working on a pic now
