is it presently a running motor? if it is mark your dizzy body where the number one cylinder wire goes to the cap. Then remove the cap and bump the starter until the rotor swings around to say 12 degrees before the #1 position that you marked on the dizzy body. Then look down to your dizzy pointer and it should be at the timing mark.
In my tool box I have painter pens. get a white one and paint the damper mark so it shows up for your timing light.

NORMALLY the mark with the groove in it is used, but after 52 years of who knows what I would follow the above advice.
