Timing set question V-6 2.9 L

I have a 88 Ford Merkur Scorpio that needs I think ignition timing. I cannot find nor see the notch (with my timing light blink) on the bottom wheel usualy refered to for timing. Is it possible that it is so far off in the timing that the notch is under the wheel ?

Thank for helping me out as I am not a mechanic but interrested in doing my car's upkeep ! J-P.

First make sure you have the spout connector out... it's in the harness to the ignition module...

If the mark doesnt show up now near the scale, run some medium grit sand paper or steel wool around the pulley (or damper)
