Balancer/Timing problem. Need QUICK help!!!

[SickSpeedMonte]

Im litterally typing this from my engine bay... hows that for this section? lol



You know the age-old mixup where one has a balancer with the mark at 12 o-clock, and the timing tab at somewhere near 2 o-clock?

How many degrees of seperation are there really there? I know if you litterally take it to be 12 and 2 you get 60*, but im sure its not exactly that.

Ive searched for the last hour and came up with one number, 8*. And thats something that changed in the 70's. Regardless, its much more than that. 8* would still show up when you set timing, but this mark is nowhere close to where it should be.

If someone knows the exact difference, I could put the right mark on my balancer and get my car back together before I have to leave for school.

Thanks!!
