Timing issue

[cano86]

I aligned the camshafts and the oil pump perfectly but where does the crankshaft arrow goes directly to the bolt or to the line under the bolt I tried looking it up in the haynes book but its barely visible. Some help should be great.

The crank sprocket mark is aligned when piston #1 is at TDC. If you have a dial indicator put something in the spark plug hole to act as a spacer (I used an extension) up to the indicator to tell when the piston up as far as possible. Some parts stores rent or lend indicators if you don't have other access to one.
