Re: setting timing marks
You mean cam to crank timing? Yes, dot dot is fine, either 12-12 or 12-7 (< TYPO!!!!!!!!!!), doesn't matter. The only diff between the 2 is stabbing the dizzy 180 apart.

12-6 would be a lot better than 12-7.
Personally, I always do 12-6. 12-12 is just too much of a guess.
Distributor timing is not affected by the cam timing since you're going to be adjust that, anyway.
