I have an issue that doesn’t make sense to me, could use some help! with number one piston at TDC ( only have a scribe mark on pulley) and rotor pointing to #1 pointer lines up! when I put a timing light on it, it shows a good 1/2 in advanced. The only thing I did was change the timing cover, it was OK before that! using a vacuum gauge I get the same results, car is running and starts right up with just turn of the key???

If you are referring to a later, 8BA engine, there are different timing covers and versions with provisions for putting the pointer in more than one location.

Perhaps this is the problem?:confused:
