The timing marks are on the inside of the pulley, closest to the engine. The timing mark is visible from the driver's side of the engine, at about 2 o'clock as seen from the front. If your timing light hunts around, you likely have points. When a timing gear goes, it makes a ton of noise and makes you think a rod is about to let go. Also, the timing may get way off at high RPM but appear OK at idle if the hub disconnects from the gear. Timing should be done with the vacuum line disconnected.
