It is an easy job and almost makes the effort worthwhile for the few times you will be setting the timing.

I did it on my 115C. First rolled the engine to No. 1 TDC on the flywheel mark and made sure it was on compression. Next bent a loop in a heavy wire and fastened the wire to the engine front cover with a short piece point to and above the damper. Then marked the damper for TDC and the corresponding BTC and ATC marks from the flywheel marks.

In addition to this I made the distributor locking bolt easier to get to by using a longer bolt and a short piece of 5/16" fuel line tubing.

Here are photos of the before and after of the modification. Sorry, no photos of the pointer.
