need help with flywheel position
I guess I was a little too hasty in removing my clutch and flywheel assembly as I neglected to mark its position relative to the crank shaft as per the Bentley. Now I find myself wondering how to reinstall it. Is there some way of knowing how to line it up? Does the ignition timing reference pin have a certain position relative to TDC? I guess since there are 6 bolts holding the flywheel on, I have a one in six chance of getting it right, but I don't like those odds to much! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So it can be aligned quicker, instead of fumbling with the bolt holes. ;O)
Especially lying under the car, holding the heavy thing up there with one hand, trying to install bolts with the other! BTDT! ;O)

Re: need help with flywheel position
Check the front crank pulley. It "may" have a small mark on it at TDC, the cam gear may also. If so, then line up the crank pulley to TDC then use the flywheel mark/pointer on the back to match them up.
I use the pulley mark on mine twhen I'm tinkering with the valve timing, it's easier than trying to work with the crank mark.
