You didn't mention what engine you are working on. Based on your post in the welcome section, I assume it's the 300ci inline six.
I've never actually had to work on, but based on some googling, the marks you would want to use look like a saw blade bolted on near the crank pulley. Sounds like someone removed yours and never put it back. Good excuse to visit the salvage yard ;)
