The large mark should be top dead center.If you have a distrubitor that has advance marks like the ones in the states,just align the large mark up with the pointer and advance your timing to the desired amount.

Each Mark is 2 degrees. You know, if your car is running bad, it probably isn't the timing. Your motor should run pretty reasonable with the timing set anywhere from 15 degrees to a couple of degrees afteR TOP DEAD CENTER. Here's what you do, with your motor running turn the distributor either way until it starts to miss, then turn it back the other way until it starts to miss, then turn it back half way, tighten it up and drive it. If everything else is OK your car should run like a champ. If it runs good then get back to me and I will detail you in how to do the static timing. It is all easy, you just have to get your hands dirty and think about it. Do not get frustrated. Take time to understand. If that don't clear it up, get back to here and we can try something else. Either way, let me know how you progress. MAREO

Mareo is correct,Do you have a vacuum gauge?I would find one if you have set the timing and the engine still runs rough.If the needle is not steady then there is something truly wrong,keep working on it.

sounds like you have a pulley from a 71 1200 and a front cover from a 73 1200. The deep grove on the pulley should line up with o mark on the front cover for top dead center. the 71 had 5 marks on the pulley and one mark on the front cover. The 73 had a single grove on pulley and five marks on the front cover with corrisponding degrees marked on the cover. Bob
