300 Timing Marks

Does anyone have a picture of the timing marks? The ones on the saw tooth part on the passenger side. Mine is clean and painted and I can't read them. I believe my rough running problem is timing. I may even be off a tooth when I put the distributor back in. But I really need the timing marks picture.

Thanks!

On my 85 300 the timing marks are at the 2:00 o'clock position of the eng looking from the front they are kinda hidden by a belt. On the 10:00 position there is a hole that hangs over the balancer don"t know what that dose though. Sorry I don't have pics .

Thanks Derrick, a trip to the junk yard found my answer. I found an engine that was pulled out and on the ground. I was able to uncover the numbers on the saw tooth part. After that it was a simple matter to count the teeth on mine and paint them.

The hole is a mount for a magnetic sensor that reads the notch in the harmonic balancer. This is timing info for the computer that controls the EFI system.
