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.
