I'm trying to set the engine 5.0 liter to TDC, cylinder #1 on compression stroke. I cannot find the marks or reference tab for the damper. Any ideas?
 






Find the crank position sensor and you have found the pointer-
it will be mounted to the block at about 11:00 o'clock to the crank pulley,

the marks are there--you may need to wipe the dampener area with something to clean it and show the engravings.
 






they are very difficult to find, but they're there.
this was taken from the pass. side of the engine bay
