Back again for more newbie questions. I have been digging on this one and can't seem to grasp the process.
I'm using a Innova 3568 light, it shows the RPM ~850 from plug #1.
It flashes when the engine is running.
I shined it inside the circular hole behind the block. I was able to see a "Y" stamped into the metal, but no color marking. When I turned the distributor this went away and it was just kinda a blur.
Then I shined the light on the flywheel on the exhaust side, I didn't really see anything.
Do I need to just put a paint mark on the back side of the flywheel on the teeth?
This is the best example I can find on how to use a timing light.
