Where should the timing gear marks be on a Chevy sb 283 when at tdc?

When installing the timing gear on the cam, the mark on the cam timing gear should be pointing to the front passenger side of the engine. The timing marks on the crankshaft pulley for a Chevy SB 283 engine should be:

- Bottom dead center (BDC): Pointer on the timing cover aligned with the "0" mark on the crankshaft pulley.

- Top dead center (TDC): Pointer on the timing cover aligned with the "T" mark on the crankshaft pulley.

- 6 degrees before top dead center (BTDC): Pointer on the timing cover aligned with the "6" mark on the crankshaft pulley.
