    Not sure what size plugs your engine has, but here's a link to Summit and a TDC finder for plug holes...just pick the size to match your plug size...They have the timing tapes and pointers, too.

    Before you pull the timing cover...check the vibration damper!

    That old rubber deteriorates over time.

    I had one where the outer ring slipped on the vulcanized rubber.

    try replacing the vibration damper, recheck TDC and your distributor location and then timing
