As George said, watch for the #1 intake lifter to go up and down, then turn the engine until your timing pointer is pointing at 34* on the balancer. Follow the instructions from there.

This is what I was after, I wasn`t sure about the lifter movement, but you guys have clarified that question for me, Thank you, and I moved the balancer to 38 * and set the pick up for the timing.
