Looking for a picture or drawing of the 383 timing
tab as mine is not readable. I'm going to attempt to start the engine for the first time after a complete rebuild and drop the electronic distributor in. My timing tab is rusted too badly and now painted over so that I can't read it. There is a hole in it that I suspect may be TDC. I can read the word "before" and there appear to be some lines but I can't tell what they represent in degrees. The book says to set the timing at 10 to 12 degrees before TDC but which lines represent 10 and 12 degrees? Do I drop the distributor in with the balancer pointing to TDC or at the 10 or 12 degree before TDC mark? Thanks for the help.
