I'm having trouble locating the dimple on the timing gear. I can get very close by using a coat hanger and flashlight on #1 cylinder, but I'm never certain that I've actually found the dimple and am at TDC. I've got the rotor in the right spot, and I've tried rocking the car in 3rd gear, but I'm not sure if I've found the dimple, or if it's just the timing gear rotating. Any suggestions about finding TDC?
