351w timing pointer
Ok beeing a chevy and mopar guy for so long whats the pointer for timing on this 79,351block or did mine just fall off ?duuuuuu

There were multiple pointers and locations used.
You can make your own quite easily. Use a piece of stiff wire or fabricate it from sheet metal. Attach it to a bolt near the crank damper in a location that is easy to hit with a timing light. Insert a piston stop in #1 cylinder. Gently rotate the crankshaft clockwise until it stops. Make a mark on the damper at your pointer. Rotate the crankshaft counter-clockwise until it stops. Put another mark at that location on the damper. Measure half way between the two marks and make another mark. This is top-dead-center. Order the appropriate timing tape from Summit (or whoever) and apply it to the damper with its TDC mark exactly on your measured mark. You now have a timing pointer that is easy to see and perfectly accurate. Jim |
