Ok, if the timing plug doesn't like coming off you can get a nut and bolt 
the same size, weld the nut to the bolt, and then use that with a wrench on 
the other end to unscrew the plug.  Works great for me.
Now for the timing marks on the flywheel you should see three 
marks(hopefully I'm right and there aren't more), two are some lug looking 
things and the third, smaller one, is a notch.  That notch is what you are 
looking for.  What I would do when you find it is brush it off with either 
a small wire brush or sandpaper and then put some white out or a dab of 
white paint on it.  Makes it much easier to find in the future.  They are 
inside the hole on the flywheel, the rusty brown round item in the hole.
