For the amount of degrees in timing in reference to the balancer there was a thread here a month ago that covered that, search for it.
I fully understand what you are saying. The problem is I have no beginning reference to know where stock timing should be. Is it as simple as setting the engine at TDC and the pump at "pin timed" position and bolting the pump down?
