[Roadsters] timing obviously is everything

[Ed Mitchell]

Hi All,

 

Timing question.

 

On my timing cover.there's a fin.looks like a timing pointer to me for my
timing alignment.but maybe it's a fin to structurally support the timing
cover.

 

And the manual shows a pointer that comes up from behind the pulley...and
over the top of the belt channel (sorry if my verbiage isn't technically
sound)

 

I've uploaded a picture of my madness (1st- two pics) at
http://rides.webshots.com/album/559322539UXctqG

 

 

And a picture of what the Datsun Manual shows (grainy but viewable)

 

And if the pointer is missing?  What to do?  What to do?  

 

Thanks
