YO! I need a timing bracket picture!

You know that little thing on the balancer that tells you where the timing is on the car... the numbers are all worn off (tried to wipe it clean but theres just nothing)... My car's running really rich and I know its because the timing is WAAAAY too retarded...


Someone please hook a brother up! Please post a picture of the thing so I know where the timing is... Don't make me do it by ear!

Thanks!

you could just bolt on one of those tabs, that u can get from kragen or something. then put the engine's number 1 cylinder at TDC. and mark on the balancer where the "0" is on the tab. thats what i did.

if u search for my name, then click on "350 swap about to begin" theres a pic of my engine, and i think the tab is on it by then.

Already took care of it, but thanks. In fact I learned the hard way not to gun the throttle when your adjusting the timing... Had the intake backfire and take all the hair off my arm and half an eyebrow.
