My new front cover on a Buick 225 V6 has no timing scale on it. Anybody else have this problem? How did you solve it?

We use to just adjust it by ear & when the pinging went away.
Could check out www.g503.com they might have a scale/answer for U.

yes advance the dissy till it pings under load (driving vehicle) then back it off until it just stops pinging.
after it gets hot shut it off wait a minute and if it cranks slow back it off a little more otherwise you have it as far advanced as your fuel or octane will allow

if its anything like the gm v6 in my jeep the scale is held on by2 screws, you could probably pick 1 up somewhere.

i do believe we are talking about a motor produced in the early to mid 60's
if you take your reading off of the crank (which mark is adequate not accurate)
then go through the timing chain (that is old and not completely accurately attached by a machined key way)
then through the camshaft gear (that is worn) onto the dissy gear (that is warn)
into the dissy that is very old and onto the plug wire.
how accurate is this?
use the drive and time method it is more accurate and a lot less work
