Timing mark pointer
-
I'm looking for an engine timing mark pointer for my '53 Super Wasp (located at the flywheel opening on Hudson 6 & 8 cylinder engines '51- '54). I can also use one for my '50 Pacemaker (though I realize they never had one, it makes for a more accurate timing check). Thanks for any help here!

As I understand the '50 Pacemaker, the pointer is the "arrow tip" that is located in the opening above the starter.
I was given a tip to: Vice-grip a steel ruler or straight edge as close as possible to the center of the arrow tip and scribe a line in the metal that can then have some paint added. This helps see the how the timing marks on the fly-wheel are lining up to the center of the arrow point. Also, next time you change the clutch fluid, take moment to have someone help bump start the timing marks to the bottom so they too can have some paint.
