Mount it on the crank, build/buy a piston stop, and mark it yourself, on your
engine. See
http://www.cranecams.com/?show=article&id=3
for detailed instructions on how to find TDC. Then use a little math to measure
off from there to where your timing marks should be.
A serviceable piston stop can be made from an old spark plug. Break away the
ceramic and either tap the body for a bolt, or weld in a bolt. Or any hotrod
shop will be glad to sell you one.
