Kerry, a tdc indicator and a degree wheel should tell you where your timing is.

But don't I still need to get to the cam to use the degree wheel? TDC is easy because of the timing mark on the new harmonic balancer. I guess I COULD pull the valve cover put a dial gauge on the rocker arms of #1 but honestly if the consensus is that the installation could be off, I'll just pull the front off the engine and check/fix. It's only a day and now that I've split the fan shroud, I can actually get up there easier and see what I'm doing with the timing gears. When I put them in, the shroud was in one piece and it was harder to see.
