How do you set the timing on a Chevy 229 V6 3.8 lt engine when the distributor has been removed and cannot see any mark on the distributor rim etc to show which is the number 1 firing position?

Put the engine at top dead center cylinder #1 by removing the plug and bringing the piston to the top. Mark the balancer and timing cover where ever is easier to see. Use an advancing timing light set at 10* and turn the distributor until both marks meet.

Can the timing gear that you see when you remove the distributor on a 1969 350 Chevy engine be pulled out while removing the distributor and change the position of the gear that drives the distributor?
There is a gear on the distributor shaft and a gear on the end of the camshaft that it engages with. The gear on the camshaft cannot be removed as it is part of the camshaft. The gear on the distributor shaft can be removed if it is worn; however, this is rare. These two gears must be in proper mesh for the engine to run; one cog off and it will not start.If you need further assistance google ' finding top dead center on a 350 chevy'.

Where is number1 on distributor cap Chevy v8?
The number one plug is the one on the drivers side front of the engine. Therefore the plug wire connected to that plug is number 1 and where it connects to the distributor is the number 1 position on the distributor. If you have removed all the plug wires then you will have to remove the spark plugs, turn the engine over until the number 1 cylinder is at top dead center (TDC) on the compressions stroke. Once it is at TDC then the rotor inside the distributor will be pointing to the number 1 position.
Where is Number 1 position on 1979 gm distributor cap?
Wherever the distributor rotor is pointing when the #1 piston is at TDC of it's compression cycle. When an engine comes from the factory it's supposed to always be in the same direction, but if the distributor has been removed and the person working on it wasn't too concerned, who knows WHERE it will be pointing. I can't believe that a distributor on a 79 has never been removed, so you'll need to find #1 TDC and figure it out from there.
