A quick n dirty TDC meter. Destroy a sparkplug by grinding out all the ceramic. Weld a nipple to the remaining shell. Slip a piece of clear tubing over the nipple. Now you can remove the plug from the No 1 cylinder, install the meter, and turn the engine close to tdc. Fill the opening with engine oil through the tube, and then rock the shaft across TDC and back. Highest level in the tube is TDC. When you're done, use your brake vacuum hand pump and tube to remove the oil as much as you can. It's gonna smoke when you restart it.
