Two questions:
1. how do you time a sbc conversion when the timing marks are hidden? 2. what's the verdict on cutting an access in the firewall to get access to the water pump and timing marks? Thanks. |

I'm not a fan of cutting holes in the firewall. I have the timing mark located on the driver side of the engine. It's not a problem setting the timing looking under the car from the side. Without a helper it might take a couple iterations of checking the mark and rotating the distributor but it's pretty easy.
