I bought a car with an aftermarket crankshft pulley... so how do I check timming now? Its for a y8

 

crank or cam pulley? if it's a crank pulley it should still have timing marks on it....if it's a cam pulley then there should also be markings for 0 degrees which would be base timing.

 

if there are no markings, pull spark plug number one, drop in a long dowel, turn the crank until tdc.
Verify its 1 tdc with the dizzy rotor (pointing to contact 1) or cam markings O> <O

They might have degree marks on the face of the pulley and just transfer it to the edge for timing purposes.
