How do I know when the camshaft is TDC on my 94 ford ranger when Changing the timing belt?

Question

I see a little metal hanging on the wheel it self, but should it be pointing straight up or at the mark a third of the way down on the cover.

Answer 2

The first step is to go to your local automotive parts store & pick yourself up a manual. Then you can follow step by step instruction. The manuals have photos to show what exactly to look for.

Answer 3

There should be a mark on the end of the camshaft that should be aligned with the crankshafts.
