This is gonna sound really dumb as I have rebuilt many engines but... where is the timing indicator on a slant 6? i have looked everywhere for it but it is either not there anymore or its hiding on me. I do have a dwell meter... will this help me set my timing? Thanks in advance for any responses. Gordon |

You mean the pointer, or the balancer indication? Roger |

The pointer is what I believe is missing. The mark on the harmonic balancer is easy to find Gordon |

Should be on the passenger side of the timing cover; Even if it's missing, I imagine the stud that it bolts to should still be there. I can grab pics if you need. |

The dwell meter, as I understand it, is for setting the points gap, which you don´t have (points) on an 83. Well, if it has not been fitted with an early ignition system, that is. |

I think i have the timing about right just by ear but I'm still having a bit of lag in acceleration under half throttle. Do you suppose i need a new carb or just rebuild it? What carbs will fit this engine anyways? Any 1bbl? |
