The timing marks on a 1987 2.2L Dodge Dakota are located on the timing chain and the cam sprocket. They must be perfectly aligned to prevent the pistons and valves from hitting each other.
(belt) if it needs replacing do water pump at the same time it runs off the timing belt save time and money
The 4.9 liter / 300 cubic inch straight 6 cylinder engine has gears on the end of the camshaft and crankshaft that mesh ( no timing chain or timing belt )
there will be a timing mark on the harmonic balancer. and a timing tab on the timing chain cover. point your timing light at the timing tab and you should see the timing mark on balancer. if not timing is way out.markstang.
