Subject: Timing marks

HOLD ON A MINUTE!

It is not well known that the front pulley and hub are a MATCHED
ASSEMBLY.
The timing marks on the stamped steel pulley are not consistently
timed to
the hole pattern. You cannot safely mix and match pulleys and hubs.
Some of
the pulleys are marked pretty close to the same, many are not. You
need to
get the position of the timing marks relative to the keyway in the
hub, not
the four bolt pattern.

Been there, done that!

Is the relation between the keyway and the timing marks consistent for the
same
year (88) engines.
In other words if I buy a set (pulley and hub) I should get the proper
timing
marks for my engine.
Where is the TDC mark in relation to the keyway?
Thanks

90 degrees out to the left (CCW) looking at the front of the engine Rino.

I wonder how all this pertains to the Race Beat after market pulleys.  I
purchased the dual belt Race Beat pulley with marks to 20 degrees BTC. And
10 degrees ATC. I did not check for the keyway at 9 O'clock.
