There is a tiny saw cut on the outer most edge of your fan pulley. If you can find #1 TDC it will be at 11 )O:clock. on the fan rim or 180 off. Mark it with liquid paper or white paint. I wouldn't do any hard running until you get the timing radius arc installed. Type IV need to be set dead on at 7.5 or they detonate and your full advance is off.
