the line mark on the harmonic balancer is used in alignment with the original timing case cover on the face of the motor behind the water pump, On the case you will see a gauge, On the gauge you will see degree marks 4,6,8 12 , . You will align the mark with 0 degrees usally to get TDC, ( Top Dead Center ) and that is how that works hope it helped

How do you time a 1979 Pontiac trans am 301?
Fist of all I would like to state: BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING ON A RUNNING ENGINE! HOT OR MOVING PARTS SUCH AS THE FAN, BELTS, ETC CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, BURNS OR DEATH! Find the tdc (top dead center) line on the harmonic balancer or "crank hub". Mark it with white paint or chalk (this will make it easier to see). Find out the inital timing required for your engine. Mark the timing tab (pass side front of the engine near crank hub) at the specified number(for example 6 deg before tdc) with white paint or chalk. Loosen distributor hold down bolt. Disconnect and plug vaccum line to the distributor. Hook up timing light to #1 or #6 spark plug wire (It does not matter which, AS LONG AS IT IS #1 or #6 NOT ANY OTHER PLUG WIRE) run engine at idle point timing light at timing marks. Turn distributor until white marks line up. Remember to reconnect the vaccum line and retitghten distributor hold down after setting the inital timing.

How do you install a distributor in a 1979 Chevy Silverado?
The is to Bring the engine to TDC ( Top Dead Center ) you can do this by removing the drivers side valve cover and watching the intake valve.. crank over the engine until that rocker arm opens then closes... also there is a timing hash and timing mark on the timing cover, and harmonic balancer. once this is done set the rotor on the distribur so that once it is in the motor it points the Cylinder #1... then install dist cap, then adjust timing using a timing light.... Hope this helped...
