This is a Tech 101 for those not fortunate enough to own or have access to a Kent Moore J33300 type of meter similar one or the Snap-On one either.
I STRONGLY encourage anyone that is going to do this to read the following article and adhere to all the safety precautions.
this is the article on PHYSICAL IP timing and making adjustments at the IP and can be found here.

Between the above thread and this one you should be able to use the following tools to time your engine properly.

What you need for doing timing via this method, is a timing adapter that either clamps, or uses Luminosity Probe, for the sake of the ease of timing; the consensus is to use a PULSE type of adapter.
A Snap-On version can be seen here...this is an example of what is needed and not an endorsement for the snap-on product there are other types as well.

If you do not have an adjustable timing light you can use timing tape as shown here

Or you can use an adjustable timing light similar to the one here, again an example only not endorsement of the product/brand

FOR THE PURPOSE OF SIMPLICITY THE
HARMONIC BALANCER in this article is also known as the engine DAMPENER
BOTH TERMS ARE ONE AND THE SAME IN THIS PICTUTORIAL!
So Down to TIMING MARKS for the pulse method with a variable timing light....
First the Harmonic Balancer and timing marks/tab on the timing gear cover!
Zero degree mark on timing tab
Here you can clearly see the timing mark on the balancer/dampener that I point too with a zip tie
Another view...I used RED paint pen in the groove which is the actual timing line .... and white paint pen on edges to highlight the marks for illustration purposes
For timing these engines with a PULSE sensor and an ADJUSTABLE TIMING LIGHT, preset your advance on your timing light to 9 - 9.5 degrees. Run your engine and set RPM to 2000 RPM, then when you trigger the timing light the marks should look as in the image below. If not, turn off engine and adjust IP either retard or advance as required. Again I refer you to this article for information on the setting of the IP and how to know advance / retard and so forth. PLEASE ADHERE to all safety warnings.

This image clearly shows the two timing marks lined up for 0 Degrees as described above.
For TIMING METERS such as a Kent Moore J33300 or J33300A, and you have a magnetic pick up then this is the hole you set mag probe into IIRC...
