Default how to use a timing gun on h22a

I don't see any hash marks on the crank pulley...how can i time my car? I've heard people say to do it by the flywheel, but i have no idea how to do that. Any help would be greatly apreciated. BTW i searched, but none of the searches i came across were about a h22a

there is a timing window on the tranny housing, you pull the little ruber plug and you use the timing gun on cylinder number 1 the one closets to the power steering pump

the are 4 marks on the flywheel, a TDC mark and a 15 * mark that has two smaller boundry markers slightly smaller before and after the 15* mark, the idea is to get the timing gun to flash and have the pointer on the engine block doint at the 15* mark at idle when the car is warmed up,

you kinda hae to dig in and figure it out

i'm kinda confuse there... a DTC mark and a 15*, when i did my timing adjustment..all i see is that mark that looks like a cross +. That's wat i line up with the pointer, so am i doing it right? or i did something wrong?

The fidanza has two Marks, TDC and a 15 degree I believe. They are notch marks not colored like the OEM

haha yeah TDC i mean.. so does it really matters if it's aligned with any three marks..as long it's in between those 3 marks?
On the flywheel.. by shooting a timing light gun, is there only one mark or more? all i see is that + mark

If for some strange reason there is only one mark, take off the valve cover and set the engine to TDC then look at the mark on the flywheel and pray it's not there. That will mean the mark is 15 degrees BTDC . Then move the engine so the mark lines up and then just use a marker to mark the teeth like I do so it becomes easier to see, then set the timing.
