There are 2 different patterns of timing notches in FI cars:

68-71 look like this:   |   |||
In this case TDC is the left hand mark.

72-3 look like this:   |  |  ||
In this case TDC is the mark 2nd from left.

All years except 72 just time to TDC at idle. The 72 models require a 
special procedure that I went over just a couple of days ago.
