350 timing marks
I have just replaced the pick up on a 350 strada, the service book says turn the flywheel so that ant 1 mark lines up with the mark on the cases and fit the pick up as one with the marks on the rotor aligned. the thing is the flywheel will turn a full 360 degrees while the cam for the pick turns 180 degrees, therefore you could have the ignition correct or turn the flywheel one full turn back to ant 1 and it will be 180 degrees out . so the question is which ant 1 mark do you set it to ?

Do it on the one with the valves for that cylinder closed. i.e. on the compression stroke.
