It is similar, but it will not fit for y-block

y blocks usually have the timing marks on the pulley and have single point er.

I thought I read somewhere that the Y-block had both types of pointers. The one on the engine now has the single pointer with marks on the damper but I purchased a rebuilt one for a '60 Ford Y-block which has the single dot. Here what I have:

Here’s a picture of the timing pointer for the 1960-1962 damper that has the belt pulley mounted on rubber.

Hey Ted,

Do you know where I can find one of those?? Or maybe I can just make one???

You could make one, or modify the one you have, but my opinion is that the easiest thing to do would be to add marks to the damper, say every 2 degrees between TDC and 10, then marks 10 degrees apart up to 40.  Make sure the TDC mark is correct before you start.

Thanks John, good idea. So should I just take the circumference of the damper then divide by 180 to get the 2* mark spacing? I'm no mathmatician I can draw somthing up in CAD which will be more accurate.
