Maybe you're looking in the wrong place...
Just some random sh!t I found on another site.
"First, remove the top spark plugs from all of the cylinders. Then, turn the propeller in the normal direction of rotation with your thumb over the spark plug hole on the No. 1 cylinder. When the air pressure on the No. 1 cylinder starts to build up and tries to blow your thumb off the hole, slowly continue to turn the prop until the timing mark listed on the engine data plate lines up exactly with ......... the split line on the bottom of the crankcase for Continental engines. Typically,.......Continental engine timing marks are located on the propeller flange. A degree wheel is highly recommended on Continental engines. I spent six months in the assembly room at Teledyne Continental Motors. During that time these professional assemblers never once installed a magneto without using a degree wheel. It would be pretty arrogant for a mechanic that installs a magneto once or twice a month to assume that he or she could accurately install a magneto on a Continental engine without using a degree wheel."
Probably unrelated....
