Since you're putting your pulleys on there's one little tip that I'll pass on that will make your life a little easier later on -- take the time now to put an easy to see mark for your total timing figure on your balancer. For instance, I time my engine to have 35 degrees total advance (your total advance is your initial timing that you set at idle plus the total mechanical advance that your distributor's bushing will allow; my MSD distributor has no vacuum advance). You can see below that I have a nice bright orange mark at 35 degrees. I set my timing to that mark at 3500RPM and just ignore the timing at idle. With my eyes I can barely see the actual degree markings on the harmonic balancer, but that bright orange line makes it hard to get it wrong. Just a tip that you might find handy.
