Question TDC location on a 3.2 Carrera?

Hi All,
Where is the TDC location on a 3.2 Carrera?
I looked in Waynes book and the pictures indicates Z1 as TDC.
But, on mine there is no Z1 marking.
There is however a few notched on the pulley, but which one is TDC?
There is a pair of notch within an inch of one another and there another one by itself.
Can anybody tell me or show a picture?


Thanks
John

The 2nd notch of the pair (the one on the left when looking at it). You can confirm by checking the position of the rotor. The leading edge should point to the small notch on the distributor. I had the same question a few months ago.

The rocker arm on cyl #1 (closest on the left) should have some play. But if it was too tight . . .
