The timing marks are at the front passanger side of the engine on the timing chain cover. It helps to mark the line on the balancer with chalk or white paint to make it more visable. To ease reaching the timing marks you can use Spak plug #6 on Pontiac V8s it is 360 deg opposite of #1 and will give you the correct timing. (Each cylinder only fires every 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation, so the timing light only shows every other time the mark on the balancer goes past). Pontiac used a removable sheet metal timing tab after about 1976 or so. They are sometimes missing if the engine has been disassembled. They are available from the aftermarket.

Does a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am have a timing belt or timing chain- If it has a timing chain does it really need to be replaced at 150000 miles?
Technically you are supposed to replace the timing belt or chain every 60,000 miles. It is a costly expense to replace it so often but it can be far more costly if you don't. Since your vehicle has a chain the pieces can wear down and eventually break and shoot up into your engine causing catastrophic engine failure which can completely ruin your vehicle.
