On a 69, there should be 4 notches in the pulley: one large one to
the left and three smaller ones closer together to the right. If
this is what you have, time to the large left notch. Static timing
will work in a pinch, but a timing light is more accurate. If your
pulley has different notches, write back with a description.

If your case has been replaced with a Universal case then there will
probably not be a number on it. On FI engines the number is written
front to back just to the right of the seam and near the back of the
case.
