Ignition timing marks

Hello All
I wonder if anyone can supply photos of timing mark positions for a 1967 2000 auto. I cannot see a pointer on either the pulley or the flywheel. Surprisingly, neither the WM or Autobook manual go into any detail. Usually I time by trial and error but thought I should try the correct way.
If the pointer is missing, can anyone suggest how to time using vacuum gauge and where to hook up to?
Many thanks in advance.

Page 47A in my WS shows timing marks on flywheel for early engines ( Re locking Crankshaft) and 40A for timing marks on front pulley. cannot see anything different for Auto, but appreciate no flywheel as such

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately my WM DOESNT HAVE A PAGE 47a! Page 45a shows EP line but no pointer. Page 40a is a diagram for Oil pump and timing chain.
 
The pointer is a press fit into the engine backplate, and is approximately in the centre of the aperture in the bellhousing that you look through at the flywheel timing marks. If the pointer is missing, then the hole for it must surely exist so you can work backwards.

Thank you Vern. I still can't see any sign of a pointer, either past or present. I've timed the engine using a vacuum gauge and good, old fashioned trial and error. After further adjustments to carburettor, the car car is running really well so I think I can now close this thread.
