ds - makes sense. Just some clarification.

Make sure the mark is on the right side of the original otherwise it won't work! - when you say 'the right side' do you mean anti clockwise from the groove which in the picture is the left side?

Get a test bulb and connect between the lead and the plug on 1 to set - I have been using the buzzer on my multimeter which I guess has the same effect

Worth investing in a strobe - I am thinking of doing this but not sure I would know how to use it. On the 'How to' videos they point the light at the pulley wheel of a small block Chevy and there is a strip of numbers that they read from to get the number of degrees.

On my engine I guess I would have to put that strip of numbers onto the pulley wheel. I assume I would use the protractor method you describe to come up with these numbers but surely the number I see lit up will depend on where I point the light at the pulley wheel. Is there some magic position that I have to stand and a special angle I point the strobe?
