that's the only one. You will need to dig out a path to the plug and also
completely remove the plug. There is a pointer that is cast into the
tranny housing that makes timming the car easy. You just got to get the
timming light into a position where you can get some light onto the
flywheel and another direct path where you can see it. 
Its a jungle, be carefull!
