Ok, I borrowed a tack/dwell and a timing light and was going to dial this old girl in but when I went to do so I had a hard time with the timing marks.  At first I thought there were none but then I notices very faint markings.  The markings start with what appears to be a C on the left followed by 16 small marks to the left.  This is on a '58 f100 292 and the pointer is there and in the proper location.  Has anybody seen this before and if so can you help me figure it out.

Thanks
