A good adjustable timing light is very handy to have to dial it in. So is a TDC indicator that you insert in the #1 spark plug hole to nail it on TDC. Then, you look at the markings on the damper and will see if you are set right. Sometimes you end up re-marking the damper because the TDC does't jive with true TDC as evidenced by the indicator. Of course, you can also do same with the valve cover off...
Just my 2c.
