I bought new gears for my car because i broke them when timing belt broke and new ones i got are solid black they have no marks on them. New crankshaft pulley does not have any holes or marks at all. How do i set my timing since has no marks?

there are no marks on pulleys you can use a flat piece on cams to hold in place instead of tool. see pictures for further instructions which are not all there but major ones are. make sure to be on #1 and torque for pulleys is 28 ft lb. built up to 6/1999 and 17 ft lbs after.
