Need help timing the engine on a Thirty. Is the number one cylinder closest to the radiator? Can’t seem to find the timing mark on the flywheel. What doesn’t it look like?

Sounds good, Do you know what the timing mark on the fly wheel looks like?

No I don't, sorry. Probably just need to clean the flywheel good.

remove number 1 plug to find tdc , i think the flywheel can be put on in any bolt pattern so timing marks may not show up on the flywheel ? at TDC ,
