Hey Guys and Gals,
I'm having trouble starting my 351W. I'm wondering if I have the timimg pointer in the right place. Should be on the passenger side underneath the alternator or on the Driver side near the power steering? Jason 78' Ranchero 351w/FMX

mine on my 74 is on the passenger side IIRC but some years were opposite i think may depend on what year of timing cover and balancer you have? i think the later windsors had it on the driver side...

Passenger side about the 10:00 position. Should be a folded metal pointer that bolts on with two of the timing cover bolts
Unless a really early block/ rotating assembly, which MAY be driver side about 2:00 position which would be a cast pointer

bolt hole spacing should only allow it to fit in 1 place? |

Thank you Guys and Gals. I replaced the timing cover, timing chain with a true double roller timing chain. Replaced the water pump, 4bbl aluminum intake manifold, a hydraulic flat cam, lifters and push rods, and 600cfm holley with vacuum secondaries
